What it is

How it differs from similar foods
Mild cheddar differs from sharp or extra-sharp cheddar by its aging process. It is aged for a shorter duration, which results in a softer texture and a less pronounced, more mellow cheese flavor. This makes it a more approachable cheese for those who prefer a milder taste.
