Sliced 1 Year Sharp Cheddar
What You Should Know
You'd spot this pre-sliced sharp cheddar in the refrigerated cheese aisle or snag it from the deli drawer for quick sandwiches, grilled cheese, or an easy snack board. It feels comforting and nostalgic—think childhood grilled cheese or a simple weekday lunch—while also being practical and convenient. The short ingredient list (cultured pasteurized milk, salt, microbial enzymes, annatto) and uniform texture from industrial pasteurization and slicing point to a processed cheese product rather than an ultra-processed formulation.

Common Questions about Sliced 1 Year Sharp Cheddar
That really depends on your perspective! This cheddar packs a solid protein punch with 7 grams per ounce, and it's low in sugar, which can be great if you're looking for a savory snack. However, it does contain saturated fat and sodium, so if you're watching those, it’s best to enjoy it in moderation.
