About Cheese sauce
Cheese sauce is a creamy, savory topping made primarily from melted cheese, milk or cream, and a thickening agent like flour or cornstarch. Variations of cheese sauce can include butter, seasonings such as salt, pepper, or mustard, and additional ingredients like garlic or herbs for enhanced flavor. Originating from European cuisine, particularly as a staple in French and British culinary traditions, cheese sauce is commonly used in dishes like macaroni and cheese, nachos, and as a complement to vegetables or meats. While it’s a rich source of calcium and protein thanks to the cheese and milk, cheese sauce is also high in saturated fats and sodium, making moderation key when consuming it. Homemade versions can provide more control over ingredients and nutritional content, offering a more health-conscious option compared to many store-bought varieties.
