What You Should Know

Old Croc Sharp Cheddar Cheese Bar is a small-format, 7 oz wedge of aged Australian cheddar that reads like a classic specialty cheese option on American grocery shelves. You'd find it in the refrigerated cheese aisle near other block and wedge cheddars, specialty cheeses, butter and charcuterie items—often displayed with imported cheeses and branded as a sharper, vintage option. It suits shopping trips for entertaining, weeknight dinners that need a flavor boost, and weekend brunches or game-day spreads where a bitey cheddar holds its own on a board. The brand positions itself as a rugged-yet-artisanal Australian classic: all-natural, grass-fed milk, vintage 9+ months, and a friendly, slightly cheeky voice (“Careful. It bites!”) aimed at adults who like bold flavor and provenance rather than mass-market processed slices. Label characteristics lean into health halos—no hormones added, 100% grass-fed cows, imported—without organic certification; packaging is straightforward and adult-focused, not kid-branded. Processing context: made from pasteurized milk with cultures and enzymes and aged, so it is a traditionally processed cheese rather than an ultra-industrial food. Sensory details: expect a firm, slightly crumbly texture and a sharp, tangy bite with savory, nutty notes; the 7 oz bar typically comes wrapped in foil or plastic and boxed, convenient to slice, cube or grate. Rituals include assembling on cheese boards with crackers and fruit, grating over baked dishes, or pairing with ale or a bold red wine. Nutrition notes: about 120 calories and ~180 mg sodium per serving, negligible sugars.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from pasteurized milk, cultures, salt and enzymes and aged, this is a processed culinary cheese with minimal additives rather than an ultra-processed product. The simple ingredient list and traditional aging keep it out of the ultra-processed category.
