Benefits of Cheddar Cheese for Your Health?

Cheddar is a hard cheese with a strong taste and a crumbly texture that melts on your tongue. These traditional British cheeses are one of the most versatile, ideal for serving as a snacking cheese or in cooking. In the production of cheddar, raw or pasteurized cow milk is used to a greater extent. However, goat and sheep milk are used to make a limited amount of it.

Cheddar cheese, like any other form of cheese, contains a lengthy list of beneficial ingredients that keep the body healthy. In this blog, we'll go through the advantages of eating cheddar cheese:

It's high in protein Cheddar cheese is a great source of protein. A single slice has around 7 grams of protein, which meets roughly 14% of your daily protein requirements. What's more, the protein in cheddar cheese is a complete protein. This indicates the protein has all of the key amino acids that the body needs to maintain muscular health. Protein is also filling since it burns slowly. When you are satisfied for extended periods, you are less likely to make poor dietary choices.

Lowers the Chances of Chronic Disease A daily portion of brown cheese can help to lower the risk of chronic illnesses such as osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. A serving of 1.5 ounces of cheddar cheese is around a cup of dairy. This serving also provides a third of your daily dairy requirement. Cheddar cheese is abundant in calcium and vitamin D, which are anti-inflammatory minerals.

Mineral-rich food An ounce of cheddar cheese contains around 202 milligrams of calcium, which is roughly 20% of your daily calcium requirement. Calcium promotes bone density and strength. This mineral also helps neurons and muscles function properly. 143 milligrams of phosphorus, 0.9 milligrams of zinc, and traces of potassium, iron, and magnesium are also present in the same meal. Phosphorus improves kidney function while also protecting DNA from harm. It also helps to boost immunity.

Vitamin-packed Cheddar cheese is high in a variety of vitamins and minerals. An ounce of cheddar British cheese contains around 281 units of vitamin A, which is roughly 6% of the recommended daily allowance. Vitamin A protects the eyes from free radical damage and maintains them healthy. About 0.2 micrograms of vitamin B-12 and 0.1 milligrams of riboflavin are included in this meal. Riboflavin aids in the development of red blood cells. This vitamin is also necessary for the conversion of food to energy. There are also traces of thiamine, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, and vitamins D, E, and K in one ounce of cheddar! All of these nutrients support the health of the blood, bones, and muscles!

Has a low lactose content Cheddar has a low lactose content (0.07 g/oz), making it a good source of calcium for people who are lactose intolerant. During the cheese making process, almost all of the lactose in cow milk is transformed into more readily digested lactic acid. If you are interested in integrating more cheddar and other cheeses into your diet, a wonderful place to start is the Internet. You will be able to search through hundreds of various websites in minutes and locate all of the greatest recipes using the Internet. Have some fun with it and try out different things so you can select recipes that you know you will appreciate and meals that you will enjoy. There are so many different ways to incorporate brown cheese into your meals, and even if you just sprinkle a little on top of your vegetables or pasta, you will reap the benefits.

You can find some good quality cheese at Norway’s Great British Trading Limited. Goat milk and cow cream are used to make this mixed whey cheese. A blend of cow and goat milk is used to make the cheese. The flavour is full-bodied, sweet, and caramel-like.

Choosing the Christmas cheese? Well, a good Stilton's got to feature on the board. (Photograph: ©2013 fullstopphotography.co.uk )

21 December: The essential cheeseboard by Neal's Yard Dairy

From the article:

What makes a good (British) cheeseboard? Well, first consider the audience. Are they adventurous or traditionalist? And then consider the time of year: what's in season? Remember, in these colder months, more robustly flavoured cheese is required. Also, make sure you have a variety of texture and taste, age and milk type. Finally, a small choice is always best, no more than three to five cheeses; you don't want to overwhelm your guests with choice.

In our book, the centrepiece to any Christmas cheeseboard has to be stilton: we'd recommend Colston Bassett stilton or Stichelton, a raw milk blue from Nottinghamshire (and made, incidentally, by one of Neal's Yard Dairy's original founders, Randolph Hodgson).

Cheddar would have to be on there, too, be it a drier-textured one with meaty, savoury flavours such as Montgomery's from North Cadbury; a smoother, creamy, sharp cheddar such as Keen's from Wincanton; or something a little funky such as Isle of Mull cheddar.

For the remaining cheeses, if you want to keep things traditional, go for a farmhouse cheshire (Appleby's is a favourite in the shop) or a lancashire (Kirkham's, if you can get it), wensleydale or caerphilly.

As far as soft cheese is concerned, we'd recommend Tunworth, a camembert-style cheese from Hampshire; or sneak in a bit of non-British brie; or, if you can find it, a slice of Baron Bigod, a brie-style cheese from Bungay in Suffolk.

Most seasonal goat's and ewe's milk cheese won't be available until spring, but you may be able to get hold of one of Joe Bennett's goat's milk cheeses, Innes Log or Innes Brick. And, for the adventurous, how about one of the smelly, washed, rinded cheeses? Ireland produces a few, notably Ardrahan and Gubbeen.

With all the hard cheeses, a sweet chutney works incredibly well — try something like Old Yorkshire or Spiced Plum by Rosebud — but fresh fruit is an even better accompaniment to all the characters on a good cheeseboard: end-of-season apples for cheddars and cheshires, ripe, juicy pears for the blues, and Christmas cake for wensleydale, lancashire and caerphilly.

And, if you're serving them, keep your choice of biscuits simple: they shouldn't distract attention from the stars of the show. Oatcakes or water biscuits are your best bet, though sweet, digestive-style biscuits work well with creamy stilton or tangy cheshire.

Neal's Yard Dairy has three shops in London, and sells cheese nationwide by mail order; go to for more details.

Old Worcester White cheese

This is a cheddar style cheese made from cow's milk with vegetarian rennet. It's made by the Anstey family, farmers, makers and purveyors of artisan cheeses just south of Worcester.

It's a crumbly cheese but also creamy tasting, and has a strong grassiness and slight lemon tang. It's matured for 12 months (hence the 'Old', I guess) and there's definitely a rounded depth to the flavour which comes from its slow development. It's also satisfying to see in the rind the texture of the calico cloth which was used to bind the cheese before maturing, which allows it to breath - excellent, traditional stuff.

Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire

Quite a famous cheese, this. Still made on a small family farm near Preston, it's been around for at least 30 years made to a recipe handed down through three generations. It uses unpasteurised milk, and is cloth-bound and buttered with full-cream unclarified butter, then matured for  3-6 months.  It's a rich and mellow cheese, slightly crumbly, and it has that real soft Lancashire taste with a hint of lemon cutting though the creaminess - a sort of childhood taste that gives you a cuddle. I've heard this Lancashire taste discribed as 'mushroomy' before, but since mushrooms are the work of the devil I refuse to countenance it. The biscuits, by the way, are Fine English Wheat Fingers made by the Fine Cheese Company - if you're after the ultimate sweet digestivey finger biscuit then I happily recommend them.
