Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese

Cheeses claiming to be reduced-fat must contain at least 25% less fat than the original. Winners kept sodium in check (less than 200mg per ounce) without sacrificing flavor.

GRAND PRIZE WINNER: Kerrygold Reduced-Fat Dubliner

This Irish company has developed its own interpretation of English cheddar. A firm, slightly crumbly texture makes it seem like full-fat. Worthy of a cheese plate.

TASTE TEST AWARD: Cabot 50% Reduced-Fat Sharp

Less of a sharp tang with a more traditional cheddar flavor. Ideal nestled into a turkey and apple sandwich or grated and baked into corn bread.
