Cheese -- what's not to love? Its popularity is indisputable.
Americans consumed over 38 pounds of cheese per capita in 2020 alone, according to data from the US Department of Agriculture. Whether eating cheese is healthy -- that's a little less clear. High in protein, calcium, vitamins and essential amino acids, cheese is also a calorie-dense food, and can be high in fats and sodium.
"If you enjoy cheese and you like it, it could be a good source of protein. It could be a good source of calcium. You just want to eat it where you're not overindulging too much, because it can quickly add up in terms of calories," Lourdes Castro Mortillaro, a registered dietician and the director of the NYU Food Lab, told CNN. 'World's best' cheese for 2021 revealed 'World's best' cheese for 2021 revealed The protein found in cheese is a good alternative to protein derived from flesh, because it is still of animal origin, and contains all the essential amino acids the body needs but can't synthesize on its own, according to Castro Mortillaro. This makes cheese a complete protein, she added. However, as with all things nutrition, it's the overall balance of what you eat day to day that should inform how much cheese you consume, Castro Mortillaro explained. "You really have to see it in the context of, what else is going on in your life? And what else are you putting on your plate?" she said. "You don't need that much to gain the positives from it." Which cheese is healthiest? The answer depends on your specific body and its nutritional needs, but here are some pointers from experts.

I often buy cheese from mexican markets
Made with raw unpasteurized milk. You will never go back.
Way to go Brandon!
Though Obama made that illegal?
Does anyone know if American cheese is even a cheese? I asked a butcher once and he could not tell me
>>I often buy cheese from mexican markets<<
Compared to what you get in Mexico, the Mexican Markets like Fiesta or Tiangus products are not very good. But they are better than Ralphs or Walmart.
I don’t consider it to be cheese, its a cheese product.
Hella cheaper too
So it's a real high protein salad.
Cut cheese?
Menonnita is a wonderful melting cheese from Mexico
Yessir, some balsamic vinagrette..
Sleepy46 knows a lot about cutting the cheese.
Face-palm
Munster, Muenster (notice the spelling) havarti, gouda, edam, provolone. Living without cheese isn’t living

It’s all good. ;)
For Vitamin K2, both MK4 and MK7, it is:
1. Aged Gouda, roughly a half year or less
2. Munster

Those would be what I optimized to get.
Yes, it’s real cheese. Then they add sodium citrate to make it melt smoothly.
I found the ingredient/method for the best creamy macaroni and cheese where the cheese proteins from various cheeses will blend perfectly. Basically, instead of making a bechamel sauce and adding the cheeses to that, you leave out the flour and butter and add sodium citrate to your milk or water and bring to a slight boil then simmer and add the cheeses. 25 grams per 3 cups of liquid. It’s about 25 ml by volume, its not that sensitive that you have to have it exact. Try it, you’ll love it. Fool proof creamy. Perfect for making cheese dips too.
