cheddar
Cheddar is a popular type of cheese that originated in England. It is semi-hard and has a smooth, firm texture with a mild to sharp flavor, depending on its age. Cheddar is made from cow's milk and undergoes a process called curdling, where the milk is curdled, pressed, and aged to develop its characteristic taste. It is versatile in cooking, used in sandwiches, cheese platters, and recipes. The flavor intensifies as it ages, and it can range from mild and creamy to crumbly and tangy. Cheddar is one of the most widely consumed cheeses worldwide.
