A block of cheese is a versatile dairy product made from milk, often sourced from cows, goats, or sheep. Featuring a creamy texture, it can vary widely in flavor, firmness, and nutrient content depending on the type—ranging from cheddar to mozzarella, gouda, and more. Originating from ancient food preservation techniques, cheese is a staple in global cuisines, especially European, Mediterranean, and American dishes. Nutritionally, cheese is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, supporting bone health and muscle function. However, it’s also high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key to maintaining a balanced diet. Some varieties, such as reduced-fat or fresh cheeses like cottage cheese, offer lower calorie alternatives. Whether used as a topping, filling, or centerpiece, a block of cheese is a flavorful and nutrient-packed option for cooking, snacking, or pairing with fruits and crackers.
