Cheddar Cheese

A firm cow's-milk cheese made by the cheddar method, in which the curd is stacked so it acidifies, then milled, salted, and pressed. Age turns it from mild to sharp.

Origin

The method comes from Somerset in England and is now used in dairies worldwide.

Flavour

From buttery and mild to tangy and savoury.

How to use it

Slice, grate, or melt it. Older cheddar has more flavour and can oil off if boiled.
