Cooper Sharp is an American cheese. It does tastes much better, probably due to the fact that the cheese used to make Cooper goes through an aging process, and then is flavor tested to make sure it meets the taste requirements.

The aging process is the difference. Also as the name suggests the flavors are more pronounced in sharp cheese than mild. The longer a cheese ages the harder it becomes since more of the liquid will evaporate which will make the cheese more crumbly. Also the cost of sharp cheddar is more because of the extra costs of production, the smaller yield compared to the mild cheese due to more liquid evaporation. Also the sharp cheddar is actually aged so there has to be aging storage facilities and they cost money to build and maintain. So as you may notice in your local grocery stores the cost of mild might only be about 60 percent of the cost of sharp cheddar from the same producer. I for one enjoy cheddars that are aged they become so creamy even though they are a harder cheese. The extra cost is far offset by the increase in flavor and quality.
Cheddar is a common type of hard yellow cheese, known for its sharp flavor and distinct color.
