Cheddar is a firm, aged cow's-milk cheese whose flavor sharpens the longer it matures. It is calorie-dense, with about 402 kcal per 100 g and roughly three-quarters of that from fat, along with 25 g of protein. Grating it finely makes a smaller amount go further, and vegetarians may want to check labels, since some cheddars are made with animal rennet.
Typical portion: A 30 g serving, about one thick slice, works out to roughly 120 kcal.
