Cheddar Cheese

Though Cheddar cheese originated in the small town of Somerset England, its mellow character and close firm texture quickly made it the most imitated cheese in the world. Naturally a harder cheese, Cheddar can turn quite sharp in flavor and slightly crumbly when aged properly. For a softer more sliceable cheese reach for the younger varieties that still contain more moisture. With colors ranging from white, pale-yellow, to sunset-orange, Cheddar comes in a diversity of shades, making for a perfect pop of color on any good cheese platter. Thanks to its rich texture and somewhat “nutty” flavor profile, this cheese lends itself to almost any recipe. From the ubiquitous macaroni and cheese to soups, sauces, casseroles, and even apple pie, Cheddar cheese has the power to improve and enhance any dish! Since the name of “Cheddar” is not protected like most other cheese names or brands, anyone in the world can label their cheese as a “Cheddar”. This overuse of the term has led to a slew of cheeses that do not even come close to the original. Boring insipid replicas colored a bright garish orange, clutter up store shelves and confuse the uninformed. We decided to put an end to the uncertainty and eliminate the guesswork, by finding and featuring only the finest of these Cheddar options for your culinary applications!
