Cheese, Cheddar, English

English Cheddar is a hard cheese made from cow’s milk. The figures here cover mild and mature varieties. It mainly provides fat and protein, along with minerals such as calcium. Per 100g, it contains 35g of fat, 25g of protein, 739mg of calcium and 1.8g of salt.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Much of the fat in Cheddar is saturated, which is worth noting for people monitoring their saturated fat intake. Its salt content is also relevant for those watching their salt intake.
