Australian and New Zealand English term for a type of aged cheddar cheese with a sharp, pronounced flavor -- roughly equivalent to what would be called mature or extra-sharp cheddar in the UK or US. The name is a marketing and colloquial descriptor that has become standardized in ANZ supermarket usage. It sits below vintage cheddar in age and sharpness.
She grabbed a block of tasty cheese from the fridge for the toasted sandwich.

Australian and New Zealand term for a variety of aged cheddar cheese with a pronounced, sharp flavor — essentially what most of the world just calls sharp or vintage cheddar. In Australian supermarkets, cheese is routinely sold as tasty, mild, or vintage to indicate flavor intensity, with tasty sitting in the middle: stronger than mild, more accessible than vintage. It's a very everyday term in Aus/NZ grocery vocabulary.
He made a toastie with tasty cheese and Vegemite, the ultimate Australian lunch.
