Mild cheddar is 3-4 months old.

Sharp cheddar is 1 year old.

What do they call the cheese that is between 3-4 months and 1 year?



Best Answer

In the US and Canada it's usually called medium, or sometimes doesn't have a descriptive term, it's just cheddar. Either way, if your store has anything in between, it should be pretty obvious.

In the UK, it's still medium, though names past that are different.

If you happen to be in Australia, there's a different set of names with only mild in common.
