People always ask, what makes this cheese lite? Is it the color that's lite? Is it less heavy than the others? Does is out-shine the other cheeses (light)? In fact, this cheese is simply lower in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol than the others! This cheddar has a great taste and is good for you too! Our Lite Cheddar can be frozen for up to a year and will last in the fridge for 6 to 8 months! Cheese shipping June-Sept will include an icepack due to the heat. Thus, the shipping weight will be increased accordingly.
