Summary
This sharp cheddar cheese is primarily made from cultured milk, which is a high-quality ingredient providing essential nutrients like calcium and protein. However, the presence of potato starch and natamycin, both processed additives, slightly detracts from its overall quality. While these additives are not harmful in small amounts, they are not traditional components of cheese, contributing to its processed nature.
