A slice of cheese is a versatile dairy product made from milk, typically cow, goat, or sheep. Widely used across global cuisines, cheese originates from ancient practices of preserving milk. Depending on the type, cheeses can vary in flavor, texture, and nutritional profile—from mild and creamy to sharp and crumbly. A single slice often contains protein, calcium, and essential vitamins such as B12, supporting bone health and muscle repair. However, it may also be high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation, particularly for heart health. While cheese can complement meals and snacks, choosing low-fat or aged varieties may provide similar benefits while reducing caloric and fat content. It’s a staple in dishes like sandwiches, pasta, and salads, making it both a culinary delight and a staple source of nourishment for many diets around the world.
