What is National Cheddar Day?

National Cheddar Day has some cheesy goodness on February 13th!

Without melt-able slices piled high, buttered bread would be buttered bread; burgers would be lacking without a zingling ooze; mac & cheese would be...mac, to be honest. So many of our popular American dishes simply wouldn't be the same without a slice of cheddar's delectableness.

Cheddar history

This love of cheddar has a long history. How did cheddar become a staple in so many of our favorite dishes? Let us tell you! Let us tell you!

In the 12th century, Cheddar, a village in Somerset, England, first appeared in the village of Cheddar. Although cheddar accounts for more than half of all cheese sold in the United States, it is a royal hit in the United Kingdom, where it was made. More than half of the cheese sales in the United Kingdom go to cheddar, in fact.
