Cheddar Cheese and the Vegetarian Diet
Cheddar cheese is a hard, off-white to yellowish cheese originating from the English village of Cheddar in Somerset. It is one of the most popular cheeses worldwide and is made from cow's milk. The cheese undergoes a process called 'cheddaring,' which involves stacking and turning slabs of curd to expel moisture, resulting in a firm texture. Cheddar is known for its sharp, tangy flavor that intensifies with age.
