Why is some cheddar orange (yellow) and some white?
All cheddar made from cows’ milk is naturally white, the color of milk. However, as Cabot’s distribution expanded, it became more important to provide orange or yellow cheddar. Some say this preference dates back many centuries when cheesemakers tried to match the exact color of cheddar from Cheddar, England. Regardless of preference, we use a coloring called annatto. Annatto is from a South American plant, and does not affect the flavor or the texture of the cheese.
