Cabot Creamery Lite 50 Sharp Cheddar Cheese 8 oz

Cabot Creamery Lite 50 Sharp Cheddar Cheese (8 oz) lives in the refrigerated dairy aisle, usually stocked in the specialty cheese section beside other cheddar blocks, reduced-fat cheeses, and nearby shredded cheeses and butter. It reads as a middle-shelf everyday cheese: a branded block for people who want familiar cheddar flavor with fewer calories. Shoppers reach for it on grocery runs for quick breakfasts, weekend brunches where omelets and melt-on-toast dishes are featured, and weekly meal-prep sessions when families want lower‑fat options for quesadillas, sandwiches, and casseroles. Cabot positions itself as an American coop-driven, New England heritage brand — regional, farm-linked, and flavor-forward — and the “Lite 50” label targets calorie- and fat-conscious adults and parents who don’t want to sacrifice sharpness for lighter nutrition. Label cues create a mild health halo: “Lite 50,” “lowfat,” and the explicit calorie/fat claim emphasize moderation, while ingredient callouts like “Fresh Pasteurized Lowfat Milk” and “Cheese Cultures” suggest a simple, familiar product; there is no organic certification and no kid-targeted gimmicks. In plain terms this is a processed cheese product made from pasteurized lowfat milk cultured and aged into cheddar, with a fortifying vitamin added — familiar dairy processing rather than an engineered snack. Sensory notes: a semi-firm, slightly crumbly texture that melts smoothly when heated, a pronounced sharp cheddar tang, and a clean milky finish; sold as an 8 oz wrapped block with Cabot branding, meant to be sliced, grated, or melted. Rituals include slicing for sandwiches, grating over eggs or tacos, and packing small portions for school lunches or snack plates.
