Cheese is the final product of curd processing, which has undergone drying and ripening. Cheeses are essential for nutrition, as they contain high levels of protein and minerals. There are over 2,000 unique varieties of cheese, classified by criteria such as milk source, consistency, maturity, and production process.
Cheeses are used in cream soups, salads, sauces, baking, as an addition to pasta, and as a topping for meat, fish, and vegetable dishes; cheeses are served on a cheese plate with aperitifs or before dessert.
