What it is

This refers to cheese that has been aged for a minimum of 5 months. Aging allows enzymes and bacteria to break down fats and proteins, developing a firmer texture and a more complex, often sharper, flavor profile. The process can take place in controlled environments to ensure consistent quality and taste.

Why it's used

Aged cheese is often used as a flavorful ingredient in dishes like pizza, pasta, and gratins, or served on cheese boards. Its concentrated flavor makes it a popular choice for enhancing the taste of prepared meals, sandwiches, and wraps. It can also be grated or shaved over salads and soups.

Health notes

Cheese is a source of calcium, protein, and vitamin B12. The FDA considers cheese a safe food product. Regulatory bodies like the WHO and EFSA have evaluated various cheese components and manufacturing processes, generally recognizing them as safe within a balanced diet. Concerns about saturated fat and sodium are sometimes raised, but moderate consumption is typically considered part of a healthy eating pattern.

Allergen info

Cheese is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It contains lactose, a sugar found in milk, and may not be suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance.
