| It is essential to know the different types of cheese. |
Did you know that cheese is one of the most popular ingredients in the world? Most kitchens have at least a bit of it in their fridge, and it’s there for a reason. Many dishes have a bit of it or are created around the variety of flavors you can find. It’s one of the best alternatives to pair with wine, and it’s sure a healthy snack. But, what about the top 5 you need to know before cooking? Here we’ll break down the list for you!
The king of melting: mozzarella
One of the basics in every cheese lover’s fridge. Mozzarella, born and raised in Italy as one of the softest and more pliable kinds, it’s made out of cow milk or buffalo milk; which gives it a creamy texture that’s highlighted by its freshness. Is one of those that you best get as soon as it’s made, as that’s when the flavor is at its peak.

The strong brother: cheddar
Bringing the firmness into the cheese realm, cheddar is one of the most convenient ingredients if you want to create a variety of dishes. Born in England, it has migrated across the globe with a popular look: pale and with big holes. Firm but pliable, it’s great to grate and mix with a salad.

The popular crumble: parmesan
One of the top known cheeses, parmesan brings in a strong flavor to every table it joins. It’s one of the smelly brothers, but the perfect pair for pasta and grated veggies. The particular flavor comes from its elaboration method (made with unpasteurized cow milk) and also has a texture that makes it ideal as a sprinkle over other ingredients, as the full chunks can be overpowering in flavor.

The sweet softie: mascarpone
Created in Italy, this kind differs from its brothers. It’s often used as a dessert ingredient, but its pliable nature and soft texture make it perfect to blend with savory components. It’s made with citric acid and cow milk and, unlike its counterparts in the cheese realm, this one doesn’t pair well with intense flavors. The delicacy of its taste makes it a perfect companion, but not an overpowering ingredient.

The brooding: feta
While most recognize feta for being strong, this Greek cheese is as noble as it can be. Made out of sheep or goat milk, it is known across the world for its soft tang. A perfect pair for intense flavored ingredients, shines when it comes to salty touches on meals.
Top dishes with feta
