cheddars
Cheddar is a common type of hard cheese. You might use cheddar to make your favorite grilled cheese sandwich.
Cheddar ranges in flavor from very mild and smooth to a tangy, sharp taste, and it's color can be anything between a creamy white and a deep orange. This type of cheese was originally made in an English town called Cheddar — and it remains the most popular cheese in England, while it's second only to mozzarella in the US.
