Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 2.5 lbs

Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese (2.5 lbs) is produced using a classic, no-nonsense ingredient list that reflects traditional cheddar cheesemaking. It starts with pasteurized milk, which serves as the foundation for the cheese’s firm texture and rich dairy flavor. Salt is added to enhance taste and support proper aging, while cheese cultures develop the cheese’s signature sharpness over time. Enzymes are used to set the milk and form the curd during production, and a small amount of annatto (color) is included to give the cheese its familiar cheddar hue.
