National Cheese Day is observed annually on 4 June.
Cheese is produced from the pressed curds of milk. The milk can come from cows, buffalo, goats or sheep.
Temperature and aging affect the flavor and texture of the cheese, as well as spices and other seasonings added during the process.
Excellent as a snack on its own, cheese is also a perfect ingredient in pasta, soups, souffle and many other recipes.
There are hundreds of different types of cheeses made in the world. Cheddar is the most popular. Although the name ‘cheddar’ comes from a small area with the same name in Somersetshire, Great Britain, cheddar is also a process of cheese making and can be made anywhere in the world.
There are many ways to celebrate National Cheese Day. Add cheese to a sandwich, enjoy a pizza or try a new variety on crackers.
