What it is
This is a block of medium cheddar cheese. Cheddar cheese is a firm, natural cheese that originated in the English village of Cheddar. It is typically a pale yellow to orange color. This cheese is aged for a shorter period than sharp or extra-sharp cheddars, giving it a milder flavor and a smoother texture. It is made from cow's milk.
How people cook with it

To use this cheese, you can slice it for sandwiches or snacks. For cooking, it can be easily grated or cubed. It melts well, making it ideal for sauces, grilled cheese sandwiches, or topping baked dishes like macaroni and cheese. When grating, ensure the cheese is cold for best results. You can also cut it into small pieces to add to salads or vegetable dishes. Its mildness means it complements other flavors without overpowering them.
