What it is

White cheese is a broad category of cheeses that are typically pale in color, ranging from white to off-white. They are often made from cow's milk, but can also be made from goat's or sheep's milk. Production methods vary widely, but often involve curdling milk with an acid or rennet, then processing the curds.

Why it's used

White cheeses are used in a wide variety of foods for their flavor, texture, and binding properties. They are commonly found in baked goods, dips, sauces, and as a topping for pizzas and other savory dishes. Their mild to tangy flavor profile makes them versatile for many culinary applications.

Health notes

White cheese is considered a food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Typical consumption of cheese as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

White cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten unless it is processed in a facility with gluten-containing ingredients.
