Cheese is a dairy product made from milk, originating from various cultures and cuisines worldwide, including Italian, French, and Swiss traditions. It comes in diverse textures and flavors, from soft and creamy to hard and aged. Cheese is rich in essential nutrients like protein, calcium, and phosphorus, supporting bone health and muscle function. It also provides vitamins such as vitamin A and B12. However, cheese can be high in saturated fat and sodium, which may impact heart health and blood pressure if consumed excessively. Varieties like mozzarella and feta tend to be lower in fat and calories, while aged cheeses like cheddar are often higher. Modern cheese options include lower-fat and plant-based alternatives for those monitoring their intake. Incorporating cheese into a balanced diet provides a flavorful and nutritious addition, though it’s best enjoyed in moderation.
