8 oz Raw Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese - aged 1 year
Yellow sharp cheddar cheese is a natural cheese that is relatively hard and due to aging is sharper-tasting than regular cheddar. If this sounds familiar to cheddar cheese, well, it is cheddar cheese! but colored yellow using annatto, a natural, plant-based food coloring extracted from the seeds of the tropical annatto tree. Without annatto, yellow cheddar cheese is the color of milk and regular cheddar cheese. Coloring has been added to cheddar cheese for centuries to satisfy customers looking for a uniformed colored cheese. Annatto does not affect the taste of the cheese.
This cheese is aged 1 year. The aging process intensifies the flavor and changes the texture of cheese. As cheese ages, it loses moisture while enzymes and microbes continue developing within the cheese.
