Cheese is a dairy product made by curdling and fermenting milk from cows, goats, sheep, or other mammals. It originates from ancient traditions and plays a key role in cuisines worldwide, from Italian pizza and French Brie to Mexican queso fresco. Cheese is rich in calcium, protein, and essential vitamins like A and B12, supporting bone health and muscle development. However, it can also be high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, which should be moderated in a balanced diet. With hundreds of varieties—soft, hard, aged, or fresh—cheese adds flavor and texture to countless dishes. While it offers nutritional benefits, people with lactose intolerance or dietary restrictions may prefer dairy-free alternatives.
