Mild Cheddar Cheese
What You Should Know
You'd find 365 Mild Cheddar in the supermarket cheese case or reach for it when packing lunches, building a snack board, or melting into a grilled cheese—an everyday, approachable block. It gives a nostalgic, comforting vibe: familiar, sliceable, and mildly indulgent. The short ingredient list (pasteurized milk, cultures, salt, microbial enzymes, annatto) and the texture from culturing and pressing point to traditional processing rather than heavy industrial reformulation, so it's processed but not ultra‑processed.
