Cheddar is a popular type of cheese that originated in the village of Cheddar in England. It is known for its rich, creamy flavor and can range from mild to sharp in taste. Cheddar cheese is made from cow's milk and is often used in a variety of dishes, such as sandwiches, burgers, and macaroni and cheese. This cheese comes in different colors, including white and orange, with the orange hue often achieved by adding a natural coloring agent called annatto. Cheddar is not only enjoyed on its own but also pairs well with fruits, crackers, and wines, making it a favorite for cheese boards and parties.
