Cheddar
Cheddar is a hard, aged cow's‑milk cheese originating from England that is now widely used across cuisines for grating, melting and snacking; varieties range from mild to sharp depending on aging. It is a concentrated source of animal protein and provides about 23.3g of protein per 100g, plus significant amounts of calcium and B‑vitamins that support bone and nerve health. Nutritionally, Cheddar delivers high‑quality amino acids but is also energy‑dense and relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, so portions are worth watching when used regularly.
