wtf is the difference between mild and sharp cheddar cheese?

As cheese ages, the flavor changes. It gets more intense. Mild cheese is sent to market as soon as it's ready, sharp cheese is left to age longer.

So sharp tastes even more like mold and mildew?

Sharp cheddar is more bitter with more intense flavor. Mild cheddar has the flavor, but it a little sweeter and dilluted/creamier.

Shredded extra sharp cheddar goes great on tacos...

Dag, I bought mild to go with tacos! I'll try sharp next time.
