Melted cheese is a smooth, creamy treat made by heating various types of cheese until they achieve a luscious, gooey texture. Found in cuisines worldwide, melted cheese is a staple in comfort foods like nachos, grilled cheese, and fondue, with roots in dishes from Switzerland to Mexico. It contains essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamin B12, which support bone health and muscle function. However, melted cheese is often high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories, so moderation is key, especially in processed varieties. Opting for natural, low-fat cheeses can be a healthier choice while still enjoying its rich, savory flavor. Melted cheese pairs wonderfully with whole-grain breads, fresh vegetables, or lean proteins to balance indulgence with nutritional value.
