Mild cheddar cheese pairs well with just about everything. You can slice it, grate it, or melt it into almost anything. It's great for cheese spreads and grilled cheese sandwiches. And mild cheddar cheese never met a plate of nachos it couldn't bend to its will.

Cheddar cheese is made with the same ingredients as most other cheeses – milk, salt, rennet, and a bacteria culture. The bacteria is added to cow's milk to acidify it and the rennet is added to curdle it. The curds are strained to separate the liquid whey, then heated to release more whey as the curd melts together.

Sargento® cheeses are natural cheeses made with the traditional cheese making methods (directly from milk usually by curdling the milk with enzymes and pressing the curd). “Natural cheese” is an established term within the cheese industry to distinguish these cheeses from “process cheese”.
