Cheese, a beloved dairy product made from milk, is a staple across global cuisines, with roots tracing back thousands of years. Traditionally crafted through curdling milk and separating its solids, cheese comes in countless varieties—from creamy brie to sharp cheddar and tangy blue. Nutritionally, cheese is rich in calcium, protein, and essential vitamins like B12 and A. It provides a good source of healthy fats, which support brain and cell function. However, depending on the type, cheese can be high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories, so portion control is key. Its flavor versatility makes it a trusted ingredient in dishes worldwide, from Italian pasta and French soufflés to Mexican quesadillas. Incorporating cheese thoughtfully can enhance meals while contributing to a balanced diet, but moderation is important to avoid excessive fat and salt intake.
