Cheese

Cheese is a versatile and beloved dairy product made from milk, offering countless varieties with unique textures, flavors, and aromas. From mild, smooth cheeses like mozzarella to sharp, aged options like Parmesan, there’s a cheese for every palate. Whether enjoyed on its own, melted in a dish, or paired with wine for a more refined experience, cheese is a staple in kitchens worldwide. In addition to its culinary appeal, cheese provides several health benefits. It’s rich in calcium and protein, supporting bone and muscle health, and contains healthy fats like omega-3s, which benefit heart and brain function.

What is cheese made of?

Cheese is primarily made from milk. The process of making cheese involves curdling the milk using bacteria and enzymes (often rennet), which helps separate the solid curds from the liquid whey. The curds are then processed in various ways, such as pressing, salting, and aging, to produce different textures and flavors. Additional ingredients like salt and specific bacteria strains are often used to enhance the flavor and preserve the cheese.

What types of cheese are good with wine?

For example, Cheddar pairs well with bold red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah due to its sharpness. Creamy cheeses like Brie are great with light, fruity wines such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. Aged Gouda complements the fruity, full-bodied flavors of Merlot or Zinfandel, while pungent Blue Cheese balances perfectly with sweet wines like Port or Sauternes.
