A cheese piece typically refers to a portion of cheese, a dairy product made from milk through curdling and fermentation. Cheese comes in countless varieties, such as cheddar, mozzarella, brie, and parmesan, each with distinct flavors and textures. Originating from ancient food preservation practices, cheese is a staple in cuisines worldwide, including European, Mediterranean, and American. Rich in protein and calcium, cheese supports bone health and muscle function, while containing beneficial fats. However, it can also be high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories depending on the type, so mindful portions are recommended. Cheese also offers vitamins like A and B12 and probiotics that aid digestion. From a nutritional perspective, fresh or lower-fat options such as ricotta or feta can be healthier choices compared to aged, high-fat cheeses. Cheese pieces are versatile, adding savory flavors to salads, pastas, and snacks.
