The rich taste and versatility of Red Cheddar

Our Red Cheddar is a cheese that really shouldn't be missing in any refrigerator. The taste is accessible, slightly creamy, and has a subtle nutty edge. The striking orange to red color makes this cheese not only a feast for the taste buds but also for the eye. It is the perfect cheese to add color and flavor to your favorite dishes.

Where Cheddar truly excels is the way it melts. Unlike many other cheeses, Cheddar melts beautifully evenly without the fat separating quickly. This makes it the undisputed king of comfort food. Think of a dripping cheeseburger from the barbecue, a rich and creamy Macaroni and Cheese, or a hearty casserole. Of course, a cube of Red Cheddar is also simply delicious on a robust cheese board, combined with a dark beer or a heavy red wine.

Fresh from the block for the very best quality

At GoudaCheeseShop.com, we only deliver the very best freshness. As soon as your order for the Red Cheddar comes in, we cut the cheese freshly for you.

Immediately after cutting, we vacuum-pack the cheese piece tightly and airtightly. To optimally preserve the creamy structure and the refined taste during transport, we ship your order with a cooling pack. This ensures you receive a super fresh product at home, which remains in top condition for many weeks thanks to the vacuum packaging. Ideal to always have a good piece of melting cheese in stock!

 

Characteristic English Cheddar

The taste of the Red Cheddar partly depends on the ripening period. For example, young cheeses will be quite mild and soft in taste and structure, while the somewhat older cheeses will have developed a stronger taste and firmer structure. The taste of this cheddar cheese is enhanced by the aging process. The cheese retains its creamy taste and resilient texture at all times. So it is a true English classic.

Origin of Red Cheddar

The Red Cheddar (closely related to the Red Leicester style) has its origins in England. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk. Since the 18th century, these cheeses have been characterized by their striking color. The cheese gets its beautiful orange-red color as a result of the addition of natural annatto extract during production. The cheese is typically aged carefully until the texture and flavor are fully developed.

The perfect culinary combination

The Red Cheddar is a fantastic melting cheese for the kitchen. You can add the cheese to warm dishes in various ways. Think of a delicious casserole or a wonderful pasta. The cheddar cheese is a true enrichment for all your dishes. In addition, it is also a very nice addition to a cheese board. The Red Cheddar combines excellently with salami, savory crackers, olives, nuts, grapes, and dried fruit. Treat your taste buds with this delicious, creamy cheese!

 

Frequently Asked Questions about Red Cheddar

Is this Red Cheddar suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, absolutely! Our Red Cheddar is made with microbial rennet (instead of animal rennet). This makes this delicious, creamy melting cheese 100% vegetarian, and it fits perfectly on a veggie burger or a vegetarian nacho platter.

Where does the red/orange color of this Cheddar come from?

The characteristic striking color of Red Cheddar is 100% natural. It is obtained by adding annatto (E160b), a natural extract from the seeds of the achiote tree. This has been done for centuries to give the cheese a constant, attractive color, and it hardly affects the taste.

Is there a difference in taste between white and red Cheddar?

Basically, there is hardly any difference in taste between a young white and a young red Cheddar. The difference lies purely in the natural coloring annatto. However, some cheese lovers find that the red variant has a very subtle, slightly earthy or nutty extra edge, but they are both equally delicious and creamy!

Why is Red Cheddar so good for melting?

Cheddar has a specific protein structure and a perfect balance between moisture and fat. This causes the cheese to melt beautifully evenly and fluidly, without quickly becoming grainy or the fat separating. This is the reason it is the world's number one cheese for burgers and nachos.

How long can I store this cheese?

Unopened in our tight vacuum packaging, the Red Cheddar will certainly stay good in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 weeks. After opening, we advise wrapping the cheese in special cheese paper or cling film. It will then remain in excellent condition for another 1 to 2 weeks.

Do you also sell other foreign cheeses?

Yes certainly! Besides our delicious Dutch cheeses, we have a wide assortment of international favorites. View our complete category Foreign cheese for, among others, Parmesan, Gruyère, Emmental, and French cheeses.
