What it is

Mild cheddar cheese is a popular dairy product made from pasteurized cow's milk. It is produced by adding cultures and rennet to milk, which causes it to curdle, followed by pressing and aging for a relatively short period. This process gives it a creamy texture and a mild, slightly tangy flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add mild cheddar cheese to foods primarily for its distinctive flavor, creamy texture, and good melting properties. It is frequently found in sandwiches, sauces, casseroles, and as a topping for various dishes. Its mild taste makes it versatile for many culinary applications.

Health notes

Mild cheddar cheese is a food product regulated by the FDA. As a dairy product, it is a source of calcium and protein. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend dairy consumption as part of a healthy eating pattern. However, like other cheeses, it contains saturated fat and sodium. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg.
