sharp cheddar slices

Labels shown include "sharp" and "extra sharp." Where aging is specified, examples include at least six months, nine months, and longer aging windows such as 15–24 months.

Common labels and certifications include organic, non-GMO, no added rBST, pasteurized processing, and occasional Halal certification. Typical ingredient notes list cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, and annatto (for color).

They appear as pre-cut sliced packs, individually wrapped snack portions, cracker-cut (pre-cut) slices, and some packages listed as pieces rather than full slices.

Processing varies by product: several packs list pasteurized preparation while at least one listing is described as raw (not pasteurized). Where specified, the milk source is cow's milk.

Listings mention protein amounts per serving (examples include about 8 g and 5 g) and at least one calls the slices a good source of calcium. Other nutrition details are referred to each product's full nutrition information.
