Cheddar

Cheddar is a firm cow’s‑milk cheese that varies from mild to sharp in flavor depending on aging, and can appear pale ivory to orange when colored with annatto. It’s commonly sliced, shredded, melted in dishes, or served with crackers and sandwiches; people track cheddar to monitor portion sizes and intake of calories, protein, fat, sodium, and calcium, or to account for dairy in dietary preferences or allergies.
