In the small town of Adams, New York, milk from the finest dairy farms is transformed daily into this mouth-watering Cheddar. The ideal agricultural conditions found in upstate New York are a key part of what gives Adams Reserve Cheddar its distinct flavor. This is a place where Old World craftsmanship is blended with modern technology to produce this award winning cheese.
Adams Reserve Cheddar is a product of Great Lakes Cheese, Inc. In 2018 Great Lakes Cheese celebrated its 60th anniversary. For more information about Great Lakes Cheese, click here.

Nutrition
Our cheddar is a nutrient-intensive food…a prime source of high quality protein, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin A, riboflavin (B2 and B12). It’s also power-packed with energy, giving you a great “picker upper” whenever you need it. Adams Reserve Cheddar is made with vegetable-based starter culture, has absolutely no trans fats, and is gluten-free.
High in Calcium
Just one ounce of Cheddar provides between 200 to 300 mg of calcium – or about 20 to 30% of an adult’s daily requirement.
—- National Dairy Council
Low in Lactose
Adams Reserve, like all hard, naturally-aged Cheddars, Parmesan and Swiss, is naturally low in lactose – generally only 0.4 to 1 gram per ounce – making it easily digestible, except for the most severe lactose-intolerant people.
—- American Dairy Association
Cheddar Tops Yogurt
In recent tests, mature, naturally-aged cheddars like ours were found to equal or surpass yogurt as a delivery system of probiotic microorganisms that promote healthy gastrointestinal functioning.

Fights Tooth Decay
Numerous tests have shown that cheddar cheese helps fight tooth decay in two important ways: 1) as a nutrient, it promotes remineralizing (or hardening) of tooth enamel; and 2) when eating, it helps “wash” away harmful acids in the mouth that cause tooth decay.
