What it is

Organic sharp cheddar cheese is a firm, natural cheese made from the milk of cows raised under organic farming standards. The milk is cultured and then coagulated, and the resulting curd is cut, cooked, and pressed into blocks. It is aged for a longer period than mild cheddar, developing a sharper, more complex flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic sharp cheddar cheese for its distinct, tangy flavor and firm texture. It is commonly found in cheese blends, as a topping for snacks and meals, and as a key ingredient in dishes like macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, and baked goods.

Health notes

Organic sharp cheddar cheese is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. Like all dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers cheese to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated cheese and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from moderate consumption of cheese as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Organic sharp cheddar cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
