Great Value Extra Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese, 16 oz Bag

I was pleasantly surprised that this Great Value Cheddar Shedded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese tastes and performs like real cheese--the kind of cheddar cheese of years/decades past. Additionally, like some other cheese, I didn't / don't have to chew it a lot in my mouth for it to break down enough for me to swallow it. Plus, I notice that hours after eating this brand of cheddar cheese that my body didn't /don't make and retain "extra water weight gain" that occurs when certain foods have "something" in the ingredients (like high amounts of sodium) that cause puffiness in my face, fingers and ankles, that's called Edema. I don't understand why this Great Value Extra Cheddar brand sodium amount per serving is about the same as other cheese brands, but this Great Value brand doesn't make my face, fingers, or ankles swell/become puffy hours after eating it.
