How to distinguish cheese from a cheese product: even a schoolchild can handle it

Any cheese that has a natural composition and is prepared using proven technology is not only tasty, but also healthy.

Unfortunately, it cannot be said that this statement applies equally to all products on the store shelf, because what you often find there is not cheese, but cheese products.

To determine whether you have cheese or a cheese product in front of you, you should not rely on its appearance or taste.

Your assistant is a label on which the manufacturer is required to indicate that the product is a cheese product if it contains vegetable oils.

Be sure to also study the rest of the information: if among the ingredients from which the product is made you come across milk fat substitutes, emulsifiers, thickeners, consider refusing to buy.

Note: substitutes are most often used in processed products.

The difference between cheese and cheese products also manifests itself in price.

As a rule, a surrogate is several times cheaper than a natural product, but this condition is not always met.
