GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — It's ooey-gooey and extra delicious -- cheese! And Thursday is a very special day for cheese lovers, it's National Cheddar Day.
Cheddar cheese is no ordinary cheese, according to Cheese.com, is the second most popular cheese in the United States. It originated from England, in a village where it was first made in the 12th century.
National Cheddar Day hasn't been around as long as the cheese itself, 2020 is the second year that it's being celebrated. Oregon cheese maker, Tillamook, founded the day to mark its 110th anniversary of making cheddar cheese.
To celebrate this delicious day, Heather Zinn from "The Cheese Lady" stopped by My West Michigan with some yummy cheddar examples:
