Cheese

Cheese is a dairy product made by curdling milk using bacteria, enzymes, or acids. This process separates the solid curds from the liquid whey. The curds are then pressed, shaped, and aged to develop flavor, texture, and aroma. There are many varieties of cheese, differing in taste, consistency, and appearance, depending on factors like milk type, aging duration, and added ingredients. Cheese provides a rich source of protein and calcium and is enjoyed worldwide in cooking, as a snack, or with other foods. Its diverse forms range from soft and fresh to hard and aged, reflecting a long culinary tradition.
