About EXTRA SHARP WHITE CHEDDAR CHEESE, EXTRA SHARP WHITE CHEDDAR

Good & Gather Extra Sharp White Cheddar Cheese is a minimal-ingredient cheese from Target's Good & Gather label, made from cultured pasteurized milk, salt, and enzymes. White cheddar differs from yellow cheddar only in the absence of annatto, the natural seed-derived colorant that gives standard cheddar its orange hue — the flavor profile and production process are otherwise identical. Good & Gather replaced the Archer Farms and Simply Balanced cheese lines beginning in 2019, emphasizing simpler ingredient lists.

The extra sharp designation reflects extended aging, typically over a year, during which enzymatic activity develops the sharper, more complex flavor and firmer texture associated with aged cheddars. The microbial enzymes used are suitable for vegetarians. Dairy is the only major allergen. No artificial additives, preservatives, HFCS, or artificial colors are present.

At 393 calories per 100g, this is a calorie-dense food with 32.14g of fat and 25g of protein per 100g. Carbohydrates are minimal at 3.57g per 100g with zero fiber, making it highly compatible with low-carb and ketogenic eating patterns. The high protein-to-carb ratio also makes it appealing to athletes and those following higher-protein diets.

White cheddar's clean appearance and bold flavor make it a popular choice for upscale mac and cheese, white cheddar popcorn toppings, fondue, and cheese plates where a visually distinct option is preferred. It melts smoothly and evenly. This cheese is not appropriate for vegans or those with dairy allergies, but is naturally free from gluten, soy, eggs, and artificial dyes.
