- Added to casseroles
This cheese can be enjoyed straight from the package as a snack. For cooking, it can be easily shredded or sliced.

How it differs from similar foods
Medium cheddar differs from sharp cheddar in its aging process. Medium cheddar is aged for a shorter period, resulting in a milder, creamier flavor and a softer texture. Sharp cheddar is aged longer, developing a more pronounced, tangy taste and a firmer, sometimes crumbly, texture.

How to keep the rest
