"Cheese is power", in recent years, foreign cuisine has gradually begun to introduce into China, cheese is one of them. I remember the first time I came into contact with cheese, I still ate pizza, at that time I didn't understand what cheese was, I knew that I could still draw silk when I ate it, and it felt quite novel. But cheese abroad, just like our Chinese pickles, is basically a food that cannot be separated from three meals a day.
Cheese is very versatile, used to spread bread, bake mashed potatoes, cook hot pot, make pizza, full of milk aroma, smooth taste. Cheese is also an indispensable ingredient in many baked foods, such as making your own pizza and making a snack.
I used to think that the name cheese was particularly tall, but cheese was transliterated from the English "cheese", and its original name was actually "cheese", which instantly felt like it had dropped a grade. It is a dairy product that is fermented with animal milk such as cow's milk and goat's milk. Although the raw materials for cheese and butter are milk, cheese is purified from the proteins in milk, while butter is extracted from the fat in milk.
Although cheese is delicious, but the calories are also very high, the general weight loss period girls will not eat cheese, so cheese is a food that people love and hate. There are more than 8,000 kinds of cheese all over the world! Westerners can invent so many kinds of cheese, which shows that they really love cheese! Churchill said during World War II: "A country that provides the world with more than 300 kinds of cheese should not perish." President charles de Gaulle said: "It is difficult to rule a country with 600 varieties of cheese. ”
Although cheese is high-end, it is not the patent of Westerners, nomadic people are good at making dairy products, and in many parts of the country, there are cheese-like delicacies. Grilled milk fans in Yunnan, milk tofu in Mongolia, milk noodles in Tibet, and milk lumps in Xinjiang can be counted as "cheese" in terms of production methods and taste. The cuisine of each country is actually the same, but the methods are different, and the names are different.
Preservation of cheese: In general, hard cheese has a long shelf life, so soft cheese (fresh cheese, white mold cheese) should be consumed as soon as possible after purchase. Since the cheese is constantly and continuously matured, it must be stored carefully, and the hard cheese can be left for about a few months, but the soft cheese can only be stored for 1 to 3 weeks after it is started. However, we will say that if the cheese we buy is flakes, it is best to put it in a sealed environment, and the refrigeration temperature is recommended to be between 1 ° C and 4 ° C.
