Cheddar is a firm cheese made from cow's milk. It is usually shaped into blocks or rounds and has a smooth, slightly crumbly texture. Its color can range from pale yellow to orange.

Cheddar originated in the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England. It is made using a traditional process called cheddaring, then aged for different lengths of time. It is one of the most popular cheeses, and people use it in quite a variety of dishes.
