The food product associated with the term "cheddar" is cheese. Cheddar cheese originated in England, specifically from the village of Cheddar in Somerset. It is made from cow's milk and is known for its rich, nutty flavor and firm texture, which becomes sharper with aging. Cheddar cheese varies in color, ranging from white to orange; the orange hue often comes from the addition of annatto. This cheese is widely used in various dishes, including sandwiches, mac and cheese, and cheeseburgers, and it is a staple in many households around the world.
