About Dairy cheese

Dairy cheese is a versatile and flavorful ingredient made from the milk of cows, goats, sheep, or other animals through the processes of curdling and fermentation. A staple in cuisines worldwide, cheese comes in countless varieties, from soft and creamy Brie to firm and aged Parmesan. Rich in nutrients, it provides protein, calcium, phosphorous, and essential vitamins such as B12, which support bone and muscle health. However, cheese can also be high in saturated fats and sodium, making moderation key for those managing cholesterol or blood pressure. Its origins are deeply rooted in ancient food traditions, with regions like France, Italy, and Switzerland known for iconic varieties. While some cheeses are ideal for a balanced diet, opting for lower-fat or reduced-sodium options can enhance its nutritional profile without sacrificing taste. Cheese can be enjoyed in countless dishes and brings indulgence to both everyday and gourmet meals.
