Cheddar

Cheddar is a popular type of cheese that originates from the United Kingdom. It is a dairy product made from cow's milk and is known for its rich and creamy taste. Cheddar cheese is commonly yellow or orange in colour, with a smooth and firm texture.

To make cheddar, milk is first heated and mixed with enzymes and bacteria to separate curds from whey. The curds are then stacked, cut into small pieces, pressed into moulds, and aged for several months. During the aging process, cheddar develops its distinctive flavour and texture.

Cheddar is a versatile ingredient found in many dishes like sandwiches, salads, pasta, and burgers. It is used to add a savoury and tangy flavour to foods, as well as to provide richness and creaminess. Cheddar is often seen on food labels to indicate the presence of cheese in products such as ready meals, snacks, and sauces.
