This shredded cheddar is ready to use straight from the package. It can be added directly to hot dishes where its heat will cause it to melt quickly.

It is also excellent for melting into sauces or stirring into soups just before serving to add a creamy, cheesy finish. Its pre-shredded form saves time on preparation.
