About Cheese stock

Cheese Stock is a savory liquid base made by simmering cheese rinds with water or broth, often combined with herbs, garlic, or onion to enhance flavor. Originating from European cuisines where resourceful cooking turns scraps into valuable ingredients, cheese stock adds depth to soups, risottos, and sauces. Nutritionally, it carries the flavor and richness of cheese but usually contains lower fat and calories than consuming whole cheese. It provides a modest dose of calcium and protein while avoiding excess salt or saturated fat when prepared with care. However, the nutritional profile can vary depending on the type of cheese used and the inclusion of other ingredients. Cheese stock is a clever way to reduce food waste while imparting a unique umami to dishes, making it a creative tool for sustainable and flavorful cooking.
