I just received a cook book "The Looneyspoons Collections, which is a hoot BTW. Very funny and the recipe names are cute. The authors, Janet and Greta Podleski are from Canada. Several appetizer recipes are calling for Light Old Sharp Cheddar Cheese. What the heck does "old" mean? Do I leave it sitting out for a couple of days or wait a couple months to use it? Is "old" a brand name? I get the "light" part.
Can't wait to try some recipes as they do sound good. I also plan on taking the book to the printers and have them whack off the left side then spiral bind it. I have done this to numerous cook books.
TIA |

Sounds like a great book Frodo, my guess would be what we call Aged Cheddar Cheese? The light may be white rather than the orange with color added?
If I am wrong I am sure a Canadian will give you a correct answer! 
ETA: Found this
Old Quebec 8 year old Vintage Cheddar. A lot of character and astonishingly good rindless cheddar from Canada. At $ 21 per pound , this one is a bargain. This one is a firm/dry cheese, highly recommended for melting and sandwich. Made in Quebec from raw cow's milk, does not contain any food coloring and has the crumbly-yet-creamy texture.

Frodo, "Old" simply means it is an "Aged" cheddar cheese and has a sharper, stronger taste to it. "Light" cheese has a lower fat content. |

| Thanks guys. I consider myself a decent cook and knowledgeable on ingredients but I just could not figure that one out. But I should have..... as the words "old" and "aged" are listed on this forum at least A MILLION TIMES! |
