Great Value Extra Sharp Cheddar Block Cheese, 16 oz Chunk

Like this stuff a little too much! Made Mac and cheese yesterday, so good! Use the medium shells, and while they boil get all the ingredients ready for the cheese sauce. I don't measure anymore, but it's probably for 8 oz of macaroni, about 1 C milk, 2 TBL cornstarch, 2 TBL stick margarine or butter. After dumping macaroni in a collander, I use the same pan for the cheese sauce. OH, cheese, how much? Same as macaroni, so if you use a half pound of Mac, use a half pound of cheese. So good. Microwave some frozen broccoli really well, and add that if you like to sneak some vegetables in.

You really can't go wrong with the Great Value cheese. The blocks of cheese (no matter the flavor) are very reasonably priced and hardly ever disappoint. I especially like the tang of the sharp cheddar. I usually add it to chicken wraps. One of my daughter's favorite dishes is pizza bagels, so I mix the sharp cheddar with the mozzarella on some Great Value bagels with some pizza sauce, and it's perfect.

I really like so many of the great value products; however, not the extra sharp cheddar. It lacks the flavor and hard almost crumbly texture i love. it is a better price than the kraft or cabot, they are worth the extra money in the taste and texture for extra sharp cheddar. I do buy the whole mozzerella and monterey jack in great value.

This cheese is a great value and taste. It's so easy to use too. After I open the bag and use some I just close the bag and put it back in my cheese drawer. It lasts quite awhile because the bag is so big. I love it. Especially how good it tastes. I use it on everything.

I love these cheese for the taste and value. It has a great sharp flavor, and the price is excellent for a pound of cheese. It is very easy to shred and doesn't crumble easily, I can freeze it and it defrosts perfectly. I typically cut it up myself into sticks or chunks and I love that it also has minimal ingredients unlike some cheeses today. Perfect for charcuterie boards, sandwiches, quiche, sprinkle it on omelettes, or melt on just about anything! My kids love it with apples!

This is the least expensive Cheddar Cheese block around. The taste is sharp and perfect for salads, nachos, etc. It grates very nicely. I use it on everything. I find it melts more evenly than the already grated cheese and does not have the added ingredients.

Great Value Extra Sharp Cheddar 16 Oz. Block Cheese is my favorite "keep-on-hand" Cheese. Shreaded %26 sprinkled on salads. Other GV Cheeses also are delicious for sandwiches %26 Burritos. I purchase Gouda, Havarti, Pepper Jack, Swiss, Cheese Sticks %26 some Soft Cheeses, all Great Value brand. More economical than big namewith same great taste.

as I indicate the flavor is fine the quality is meddling and it's a little crumbly almost as if it might have been partially frozen at what point? I don't know I'm happy for what I use it for in cooking it would need to be of a little higher quality just for tea snacks!

I have normally been very satisfied with Great Value products. I was very disappointed with this cheese. I purchased to make a specific dish that company visiting for holidays really like. Unaware they also bought the ingredients. I checked dates on the different cheeses and used the ones that expired early. This and the pepper jack block went into the fridge. they both had expiration date in late March 2026. i finally was ready to make the dish again for a pot luck. the pepper jack was fine the sharp cheddar was completely moldy. not just a tiny amount. you cut cut away the entire block. everything else in fridge was perfectly fine. so i know it was the cheese. I doubt I will buy sharp cheddar blocks from great value again.

OK, so I have been buying this cheese for years and in the last year something has changed. The taste is off, the texture is wrong and I use this to make maccaroni and cheese, but it no longer melts. I kid you not it just clumps and becomes graduated. this has been every batch I have made in the last year. idk what changed but I'm going to have to switch to a more expensive brand.
