We all notice a difference in
the way some of the American
OF Cheddar cheese tastes. This is
caused by the degree of ripeness.
The ripening or aging process
changes the lumpy, curdy texture
of freshly made cheese to one that
r. firm but pliable and mellow.
The flavor gets "tangier' or sharp
er as the aging processes.
Ageing Cheddar cheese to the
point of sharpness" used to take
8 to IL months. Today, thanks to
research, the same process requires
from 3 to 4 months.
Cream cheese rates second on
the American housewives list. 1t
Is made Of cream, thickened by
souring and by the addition of rem
net to aid curdling. There are a
lot of calories in this type of
cheese.
The It~alian-type cheese rates
third, and Swiss cheese fourth.
They originated in Italy and Swift
zerland, but our manufacturers
have learned to make a product
equal in quality and flavor.

Cheese
Cheese and crackers, toasted
cheese, pimento and cheese,
cheeseburgers - we all like them,
but what do we know about the
cheese we eat?
Are you one Of the majority of
Americans who prefer Cheddar.
or what we call American
cheese? You probably are, for Of
the 7 pounds of cheese each person
eats each year in the United
| States, American Cheddar &C.
counts for 4.8 pounds.
This type cheese was named for
the English village Of Cheddar,
where it was first produced about
100 years ago. 1t is made from
cows milk and in sizes ranging
from 8 to 100 pounds. 1t may be
a yellowish- white color or a deep
yellow.
You a tell what the cheese is
made of by the label on it. 1t is
generally made of whole milk.
But, if it is made Of partly skim
med or skinned milk, it must
carry a qualifying adjective on
the label such as "part-skim' or
skim"
