About EXTRA SHARP WHITE CHEDDAR CHEESE, EXTRA SHARP WHITE CHEDDAR
Good & Gather Extra Sharp White Cheddar Cheese, under this particular USDA entry, is produced using pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, and microbial enzymes — a formula that results in a clean, traditionally styled aged white cheddar. As part of Target's Good & Gather line (launched 2019), this cheese reflects the brand's commitment to straightforward ingredient lists without unnecessary additives.
The use of microbial enzymes rather than animal rennet is noted in the ingredient declaration, making this version suitable for lacto-vegetarians. White cheddar's color comes from the natural cream tone of aged cow's milk, with no annatto or other colorants added. The extra sharp flavor profile results from an extended aging process that breaks down proteins and fats into shorter flavor compounds, yielding the characteristic bite and complexity.
Nutritionally, this version lists 21.43g of protein per 100g (slightly lower than some other SKUs in this category), 32.14g of fat, and 3.57g of carbohydrates per 100g, at 393 calories total. Fat is primarily saturated as expected in hard cheese. Fiber is zero. Dairy is the major allergen; no gluten, soy, eggs, or artificial additives are present.
This cheese works exceptionally well in baked dishes such as au gratin potatoes, white lasagna, or stuffed peppers, where the bold tangy notes add depth without artificial cheese flavoring. It also slices cleanly for snacking or sandwiches. Like all aged hard cheeses, it contains minimal residual lactose, which some lactose-intolerant individuals tolerate better than fresh cheeses, though individual sensitivity varies.
Ingredients
PASTEURIZED MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES (MICROBIAL).
