While we all know Land O Lakes for its butter (it’s one of the butter brands our Test Kitchen swears by), these thick-cut shreds prove that the company knows all things dairy.
Right out of the bag, you can tell these Land O Lakes Sharp Cheddar Cheese Farmstyle Shreds are different. The cheddar here is a vivid orange, “the deepest and brightest of all the samples,” says Josh. And the shred on this cheese is delightfully thick. According to Senior Editor Lara Eucalano, the coarse shred makes Land O Lakes “the perfect snackable cheese.” (Yep, even the foodies among us aren’t immune to sneaking generous pinches of cheddar as a snack.)
What really makes this one of our top picks for the best cheddar cheese, though, is the taste. According to Josh, “this cheese has presence and depth; the taste is superior!” Our pros all noticed the slightly sharp, almost nutty flavor of this top-notch cheddar.
Because of its striking appearance and tempting shreds, our team recommends using Land O Lakes shredded cheddar where you can show it off! Use it to top a bowl of chili or to garnish other dishes.
