What color is chaddar cheese?

Cheddar cheese is typically a pale yellow to orange color. The exact color can vary depending on the breed of cow, the diet of the cow, and the aging process of the cheese.

Here's why:

* Carotene: Cows eat grass and hay which contain carotene, a pigment that converts to vitamin A. This carotene gives the milk a yellowish hue, which is then passed on to the cheese.

* Diet: Cows fed a diet rich in alfalfa or other grasses that are high in carotene produce milk with more color.

* Aging: As cheddar ages, the color can deepen and become more orange.
