My grandmother had a mex recipe that calls for 'Sharp Old English Cheese'. Years ago I found it - It comes in a red box like Velvetta but can't find it anywhere anymore. I tried substituting just sharp cheese before and the recipe wasn't near as good. What cheese can I use that will have the same taste?

It was Kraft brand but came in a box like Velvetta does. I'm hoping to find something I can buy from Kroger or Walmart

Hi,
I don't recognise the box Iand I'm an elderly lady) but if I had to recommend a sharp English cheese on no other information I would suggest Lancashire first and Wensleydale second. Lancashire cooks well (I think Wensleydale does also) and if your memory is good enough and you can find a local deli that will let you taste slivers until you find one that rings memories that may help.
By the way, both these cheeses are essentially English; I mention this because you'll sometimes see Cheddar-type cheeses (yellow in colour) described as sharp when the makers mean extra-strong. Hope this helps. Good luck with the search.

Land O Lakes has a sharp American cheese that I can buy at my local deli for $5.99 per pound - less if it's on sale. That's the closest in flavor that I've found. I'm not sure what you're trying to make with the Old English (the cheese I love and grew up with but haven't been able to buy locally for about 20 years). I substitute regular American cheese for some recipes and cheddar for others. My brother sometimes uses Velveeta, but I don't care for that.

Can you find Tillamook extra sharp cheddar? It's got a partially black label. If you're looking for a very sharp cheddar, that's the best.

Kraft makes one by that name--it comes in a small jar.
