Cheese is a versatile dairy product used worldwide as a table food, melting ingredient and flavoring agent in many cuisines — from sandwiches and pizzas to gratins and sauces. It is known for its rich, savory taste and ability to add creaminess and umami to dishes. Nutrition-wise, Cheese is a concentrated source of protein, providing about 20.7g of protein per 100g, and it also supplies important micronutrients such as calcium and vitamin B12. Because it is energy-dense, smaller portions typically deliver most of the nutrients people seek from cheese. From a health perspective, cheese provides satisfying protein and minerals that can support fullness and bone health, but it is also relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, so enjoying it in moderation or choosing lower-fat varieties can help balance flavor with health goals.
