About Extra cheese
Extra Cheese is a flavorful addition to dishes, typically composed of dairy-based ingredients like milk, cream, enzymes, and salt. Originating from centuries of cheesemaking traditions across various global cuisines, it is most commonly featured in Italian, American, and Mexican dishes—think pizzas, pastas, burgers, and nachos. While extra cheese enhances taste and richness, it is also a significant source of calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle maintenance. However, it tends to be high in saturated fats, sodium, and calories, which can contribute to weight gain and cardiovascular concerns if consumed excessively. Moderation is key, as it offers essential nutrients but is best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. Whether melted, shredded, or layered, extra cheese tempers bold flavors and provides a comforting creaminess, making it a beloved topping or filling in countless recipes worldwide.
