Cheddar cheese
Cheddar cheese is a popular dairy ingredient that originates from cow's milk. It is a type of hard cheese that is known for its sharp and tangy flavour. Cheddar cheese is widely used in cooking and is a common choice for toppings on dishes like pizza and burgers.
To make cheddar cheese, milk is first pasteurised and then heated before special cultures and rennet are added to separate the curds from the whey. The curds are then pressed into blocks and left to age for varying lengths of time, which can affect the cheese's flavour profile and texture. Cheddar cheese can range from mild to extra sharp, depending on how long it is aged.
Cheddar cheese appears on food labels due to its versatile flavour and melting properties. It is a staple in dishes like macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, and cheeseburgers. Cheddar cheese can also be used for snacking, in salads, or as a topping for soups and casseroles. Its rich and creamy taste adds depth to both savoury and sweet dishes, making it a versatile ingredient in many recipes.
