About EXTRA SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE, EXTRA SHARP CHEDDAR
Great Value Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese (updated lot with 21.43 g protein per 28 g serving) represents a later nutritional data entry for the standard Great Value extra sharp block cheddar with annatto color. The slight protein reduction from 25 g to 21.4 g per 100 g compared to older lot entries may reflect natural variation between cheese batches (protein content varies with milk composition and aging) or an updated USDA database measurement. The ingredient composition is unchanged: pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, and annatto color.
Extra sharp cheddar achieves its intense flavor through a combination of proteolysis (protein breakdown by starter culture and non-starter bacteria enzymes producing peptides and free amino acids) and lipolysis (fat breakdown producing short-chain fatty acids, particularly butyric acid, which gives aged cheddar its characteristic pungency). The longer aging period also reduces moisture content, concentrating flavors and producing a firmer, more crumbly texture.
Per 28 g: 393 calories per 100 g, 32.1 g fat, 3.6 g carbohydrates, and no fiber. This is a keto-compatible, gluten-free, high-protein snacking cheese that delivers excellent calcium and phosphorus. The Great Value pricing makes this one of the most cost-effective sources of aged cheddar in the Walmart product lineup.
