The Regular blendcontains 85% mild cheddar and 15% extra sharp, and the Zesty blendcontains 75% mild cheddar and 25% extra sharp. This year, a localdairy cooperative offered to provide up to 9,000 pounds of mildcheddar cheese for $1.50 per pound and up to 4,000 pounds of extrasharp cheddar cheese for $1.70 per pound. The cost to blend andpackage the cheese spreads, excluding the cost of the cheese, is$0.25 per container.
