Is cheddar cheese made from other products?

Here's the basic process:

1. Milk: Cow's milk is the starting point.

2. Coagulation: Rennet (an enzyme) or acid is added to the milk to separate the curds and whey.

3. Cutting and Stirring: The curds are cut and stirred to remove excess whey.

4. Heating and Pressing: The curds are heated and pressed to remove more whey and create a firm texture.

5. Salting and Aging: The cheese is salted and aged for a period of weeks or months. This aging process gives cheddar its characteristic flavor and texture.

So, while cheddar cheese may be combined with other ingredients in recipes, it's not made from any other specific products.
