Cheddar Cheese Price in Pakistan

Cheddar Cheese

Cheddar cheese is among the more commonly used cheeses. It is in close competition with mozzarella. Cheddar has a more pungent flavour with a sharpness to it. The texture is firm and is slightly crumbly. This may not apply to the cheddar cheese one buys in the form of slices, as that is a new age processed form of cheese. Cheddar is a pale yellow in colour, or possibly a kind of orange as well.

This is the cheese that is mostly used in burgers, it also makes for a great addition to an omelette along with mozzarella.

Variations over time

There is no fixed definition outside of the traditional cheddar, which is why there are a lot of variations available in the market in regard to taste, texture and colour. There is a specific type which is listed in the Protected Designation of Origin, this is labelled as West Country Farmhouse Cheddar, and would be considered as the authentic kind of cheddar cheese.

Nutritional information

Cheddar cheese is rich in protein, calcium and is a good source of vitamin K. It also contains cobalamin, potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin B6.

As with most cheese, cheddar also contains cholesterol which is why eating too much can be unhealthy.
