This place has all that. When they have it.
Not much call for cheddar, though. Not in those parts.

If we ever get the chance to go to Brazil, McDonald’s will be our first stop. Why? Well, the fast food chain just launched an oozing bowl of melted cheddar cheese that will have you dipping your burger, French fries, and beyond.
“What if we made a pool of cheddar…?” the official McDonald’s Brazil Instagram account captioned the news on Dec. 8. The bowl consists of about 3.5 ounces of melted cheddar cheese that you can add onto your order. So whether you’re craving a cheeseburger or chicken nuggets, you can dip your meal in the cheese bowl for an extra layer of deliciousness. If there’s one thing we know, it’s that cheese makes everything better.

No, I get around in real mercados just fine
What does its MDS data sheet have to say?
Just knowing if it’s solid or liquid at room temperature would tell a lot.
Based on appearance it seems unlikely it could legally be called “cheddar” in many jurisdictions. Apparently Brazil isn’t so strict about that sort of thing.
All this said, I’ll bet it tastes good. Wonder if it comes with a straw?
Fondue?
Fon’DON’T!

Until recently if you took milk, and removed the cream you could not sell it as "skim milk" unless you added vitamins A and D. You had to sell your pure milk with cream removed as, get this, "imitation milk product".
Velveeta, which this stuff resembles at least visually, is not legally considered cheese because it contains milk protein concentrate which is made from, you guessed it, milk.
Which is also what you make cheese from.
Go figure.
Love the MP reference! LOL
When you skim off the fat you're also skimming off the fat soluble vitamins like A and D. So in a sense it's now nutritionally less than milk, but to say it's an imitation isn't quite accurate. If you then fortify it by adding back the vitamins it becomes more on par with whole milk nutritionally, but since those vitamins are an artificial addition you could almost make the case that it's now more of an imitation than the unfortified skim milk is.
No doubt the intent was to discourage people from buying skim milk by giving it an off-putting name like "imitation milk product," thereby driving them towards the fortified skim milk, with the ultimate goal of avoiding an unwitting shortfall of those vitamins in your (or your kids') diet.
A similar example that comes to mind is white flour, except here the Gov was more direct in its labeling requirements. When you strip the germ from whole wheat flour you lose the vitamins. Flour producers then add the vitamins back in and call it fortified white flour--which is really what it is.
The milk from our Jerseys is so rich that even the stuff that has been "skimmed" still has quite a bit of butter fat in it.
That is the milk that we use for drinking in the house. I would say it is about the same as 2% maybe a bit richer.
I do not sell fresh milk, it is too much a pain legally.
Well that’s a good point—these days if you’re buying milk from a farm you’re not just the average shopper. I guess I’m imagining the labeling requirement having been enacted back in the day when true skim milk might have been more common. Do you happened to know when it came about?
BTW, it looks like a farmer recently won a lawsuit against the FDA and that true skim milk can be labeled truthfully now. He won it on a first amendment basis, which is pretty cool:

A mixed up world indeed.
My Cheshire cheese can not be sold as such certain places because it is not made in Cheshire England.
So I call it Cheshire style cheese.
Not that I have any trouble finding clients. I have orders out to 2023.
Maybe I should get another cow.
