Key ingredients 4
Cheese cultureGood
Beneficial ingredient — whole-food or functional value in this product class.
Benefits
Aids in the development of cheese flavor and texture, and can contribute to gut health through probiotic effects.
Pasteurized part-skim milkNeutral
Pasteurized part-skim milk is a common base for cheese, providing essential proteins and calcium. The pasteurization process ensures safety by eliminating harmful bacteria. However, it lacks the full fat content of whole milk, which may affect flavor and texture.
Benefits

SaltNeutral
Salt is used in cheese making to enhance flavor and act as a preservative. It is a refined ingredient that does not provide the trace minerals found in unrefined salts. Excessive consumption of salt can lead to health issues such as hypertension.
Risks
High sodium intake can contribute to increased blood pressure and cardiovascular issues.
Benefits
Enhances flavor and acts as a preservative, extending the shelf life of the cheese.
EnzymesNeutral
Enzymes are crucial in the cheese-making process, aiding in the coagulation of milk. They are typically derived from animal or microbial sources. The use of enzymes is standard in cheese production and does not pose significant health concerns.
