"How are you doing? We are going to talk today about citric acid and cheddar. Cheddar is actually one of the few cheeses out there that actually uses citric acid. Cheddar is not only the only one but there is many more out there. Citric acid is not really an acid it is actually a salt from when fruits and other things that have citrics like lemons, vinegars and things like that it dries up and turns into a crystal acid form which is also known as salt. Well they use salt in cheddar for flavor. If it wasn't for salt, cheddar would be pretty bland because considering during the process all it is is taking straight from the milk and put it into a formation or this rectangular right like this one or other molds to give this form so the citric acid actually makes the flavor of cheddar, cheddar."
