Whenever I eat a piece of Cheddar cheese, a cool, tingling sensation occurs beneath my eyes and over the bridge of my nose. This often results in the release of tiny beads of sweat in the same region. This is a true sign of an allergic reaction. There must be something unique in the process of making cheddar cheese compared to most other cheeses. Also, you will need to be tested for this allergy.
Yellow dye is added to commercial cheddar.
If you look at the cheddars in a natural food store you will see that they are not orange like the cheeses in supermarkets. You probably have a mild reaction to the dye.
