6/2# Extra Sharp White Cheddar Cheese Baby Loaf (06287)

Extra Sharp White Cheddar Cheese is made from pasteurized milk or “heat shocked” milk, from cows not treated with the artificial growth hormone rBST. Cultures and enzymes are added. The curds produced undergo a cheddaring and milling process, are salted, and pressed into 42-pound blocks. Cheese that is made from heat shocked milk requires aging for a minimum of 60 days at a temperature of not less than 35° F. Extra sharp white cheddar cheese is graded at 60 days then aged a minimum of 720 days. After aging the cheese is cut and packaged. This process meets legal requirements as set forth in 21 CFR 133.113.
