Kraft Sharp White Cheddar Cheese Block
What it is
This is a block of sharp white cheddar cheese from Kraft. Cheddar cheese is a hard, natural cheese that originated in the English village of Cheddar. This variety is known for its distinct sharp flavor profile, which develops as the cheese ages. The white color indicates that no annatto, a natural food coloring, has been added. It is a versatile cheese that can be enjoyed in many ways.
