Sliced 1 Year Sharp Cheddar
What You Should Know
You'd find this pre-sliced 1-year sharp cheddar in the refrigerated cheese aisle or reaching for it when assembling quick sandwiches, a cheese board, or an after-school snack. It feels comforting and a bit nostalgic—sharp, savory, and ready-to-use—thanks to a year of aging and factory slicing for convenience. The short ingredient list (cultured pasteurized milk, salt, microbial enzymes, annatto) points to traditional cheese-making and minimal additives, indicating a processed but not ultra-processed product with predictable texture and flavor.
