Choosing cheese isn't as easy as you thought.

When purchasing, it is important to consider various nuances.

How to choose the right cheese

High-quality and fresh cheese will not have cracks in the crust or in the cut.

The product must have a uniform consistency.

In addition, the cheese must have a uniform structure and uniform color.

Therefore, it should not be too bright. For example, yellow or orange.

Experts assure that natural cheese can only be creamy in color, but not bright.

Also, avoid choosing striped or spotted foods.

Make sure there is no plaque on the surface.

There should be no grey, black or green spots.

The surface should be dry, not wet.

The composition should not contain dyes, flavors, or palm oil.

The cheese must be made from the fats of cow's milk or other dairy products.

High quality cheese does not have an unpleasant odor and sometimes does not have a distinct milky aroma.

However, if the cheese begins to take on a rancid aroma, you can be sure that the cheese has gone bad.

How to choose a cheese flavor

If you like rich and spicy flavors, then you will likely enjoy cheeses such as aged cheddar, gruyere, blue cheese, and spiced cheeses.

Spicy blue cheeses: Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Dorblu.

Opt for mozzarella, young Brie, fresh goat cheese or Danish Havarti if you like softer, soy flavors.

These cheeses have a less bright and rich taste, but are creamier and more delicate.
