Explanation
Cheese is a food made from milk. After milk is collected, it is allowed to thicken and ripen, which gives cheese its taste and texture. Different types of cheese are made by using different kinds of milk and by leaving it to ripen for varying times. Some cheeses are soft, while others are hard. Cheese can be eaten as it is, melted on food, or used in cooking. It is a good source of protein and calcium, making it healthy in moderation.
