National Cheese Day Significance

National Cheese Day highlights the goodness and benefits of cheese in our diet. Cheese is the most popular dairy product and an essential part of many cultures and cuisines. It is valued for its portability, long shelf life, and high content of fat, protein, calcium, and phosphorus and is more compact and has a longer shelf life than milk. The origins of cheese and cheesemaking date back to around 8000 BCE when sheep were first domesticated. In archaeological records, the earliest evidence of cheesemaking can be traced to 5500 BCE and what is now Kuyavia, Poland, where strainers coated with milk-fat molecules have been found. From Pasta to Garlic Potatoes, 4 Recipes To Enjoy With Goat Cheese.

In the cheesemaking process, milk is usually acidified, and either the enzymes of rennet or bacterial enzymes with similar activity are added to cause the casein to coagulate. The solid curds are then separated from the liquid whey and pressed into finished cheese. On National Cheese Day, cheese lovers across the US can enjoy their favourite varieties and try new types of cheese. So on this National Cheese Day 2023, go and indulge in some cheese and celebrate the day with your family and friends!
