Great Value Extra Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese, 16 oz Bag

I was pleasantly surprised that this Great Value Cheddar Shedded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese tastes and performs like real cheese--the kind of cheddar cheese of years/decades past. Additionally, like some other cheese, I didn't / don't have to chew it a lot in my mouth for it to break down enough for me to swallow it. Plus, I notice that hours after eating this brand of cheddar cheese that my body didn't /don't make and retain "extra water weight gain" that occurs when certain foods have "something" in the ingredients (like high amounts of sodium) that cause puffiness in my face, fingers and ankles, that's called Edema. I don't understand why this Great Value Extra Cheddar brand sodium amount per serving is about the same as other cheese brands, but this Great Value brand doesn't make my face, fingers, or ankles swell/become puffy hours after eating it.

I like this cheese compared to others specifically for it's value to taste ratio. If I desire delicious shredded cheese, I would get a hunk of nice cheddar and shred it. This is okay; it's sharper in taste than other pre-shredded cheeses, and I prefer the larger size of the shreds versus the mini-shredded types that melt away unless you put a ton on your recipe. *5* Value bumps up any shortcomings to me.

One of my favorite snacks is cheese fries. After air frying waffle fries I put them on a plate andd smother them with this shredded sharp cheddar cheese and top it all with a heathy portion of bacon bits and listen to my arteries harden I enjoy this delicious treat.

My family likes this better than other named brand shredded cheese. We sprinkle it on salads. It melts well on things like fries. We also like that it has a potato starch coating to keep it from clumping instead of cellulose powder as in other brands.

I've not had any problems with most of the Great Value cheeses that I buy. This particular item was a substitution for a 12-pack of sliced extra sharp cheddar that I wanted for sandwiches, so it isn't exactly what I needed, but I CAN use it on other foods! It's still delicious!!

I really like the quality of the product along with the value of the product. That's why I continue buying it every week. I use this in a lot of of my dishes that I prepare for myself and not just like salads. I will put this in a homemade macaroni salad, which I usually put everything at the kitchen sink. I just love the flavor of it that it brings out in the dish that I'm preparing.

Great value cheese is just as good as any name brand cheese out there. The taste is great i love the sharp cheddar particularly in salads it gives it a little kick. I think the texture can be iffy sometimes as well but i would recommend buying Great value products and save a little money for your pocket or to go toward some other item worth spending extra on!

I would have given this all five stars however the reason that I gave the one 4 star is because I laminated my sourdough bread with it. It came out a little on the greasy side. I now know that I need to mix a little bit of flour in with the grated cheese prior to adding to my sourdough. The cheese itself is a good quality and very tasty!

Every time I try to place an order, I have some kind of problem. It won't take my valid health card, or take my EBT cards. And sometimes it won't take my credit card either!!...Try to review order list and it doubles items....grrr..isn't user friendly at all.

I have all of my things always delivered from Walmart because I am disabled and in a wheelchair and my daughter will not drive so I have most of my needed things delivered. Yesterday when I got a text telling me I was here but it was not and we looked at the picture and realized it was not my door or rug. I called and was told they couldn't fill it again. So I would have to reorder it. I think I'll have it when I get out with someone instead of delivered. I've used delivery since it was available in Vegas Indiana and kept it up when my family moved me here in November of 2024.
