mild cheddar

Soft orange wedge

Mild cheddar is cheddar cheese that has been aged only briefly—typically two to three months—resulting in a softer texture and gentler flavor than sharp or extra-sharp varieties.

It melts smoothly and appeals to those who find aged cheddars too tangy or pungent: The kids prefer mild cheddar on their sandwiches.
