Cheese is a type of dairy product produced in a range of flavours, textures, and forms. While it is recommended to consume cheese within certain limits due to many being high in calories, saturated fat, salt and low in fiber, cheese is also a great source of calcium, fat, and protein. It also contains high amounts of vitamins A and B12, along with zinc, phosphorus, and riboflavin. Cheese is considered a whole food, which are generally good for you, as long as you don't eat too much of one thing.
