Something you can make with shredded cheddar cheese
Origin
Cheddar cheese originated in the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England. It is believed to have been first produced in the 12th century. Originally, cheddar cheese was made using the milk from local Somerset cows. The cheese was traditionally aged in the caves of the Cheddar Gorge, which provided the ideal conditions for maturing the cheese. Over time, cheddar cheese became popular and the production spread to other regions around the world. Today, cheddar cheese is made in many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
