disoriented: 13 Cheeses Everyone Should Know | Serious Eats Cheddar cheese made in this traditional fashion are dry and crumbly in texture, with a deep, tangy, nutty flavor. A far cry from the smooth mild American-style cheddars you might find on top of a burger. Call me a pretentious git (and I’m sure many people have), but I’m not even sure I recognise American-style “cheddar” as real cheddar. And that orange colour? What the hell? Apparently you can make American cheddar by taking a block of Colby, melting it down, adding gelatine and food colouring, and pouring it into a mold to set. Personally, that sounds like a waste of good Colby.
