Cheese comes from milk and is a dairy product made by processing milk to separate the solid part from the liquid part. The different types of milk (from cows, goats, sheep, or buffalo) and various cheese-making processes that can be used result in the wide variety of cheeses available in the world, with very different tastes, textures, shapes, and aromas.

Cheese comes from milk. It is a dairy product made by coagulating the proteins in milk and separating the liquid whey from the solid curds. The process of making cheese involves several steps, including:

1. Getting the milk: We start with freshly collected milk from, for example from cows, goats, or sheep.
2. Adding bacteria: We add natural or added cultures of healthy bacteria to the milk to help it turn into cheese.
3. Curdling: The milk then thickens and turns into clumps of curds, which are the main part of the cheese.
4. Separating the whey: We drain the liquid part, called whey, from the curds.
5. Shaping: We put the curds into moulds to give the cheese its desired shape.
6. Ageing: The cheese is often aged for various periods to develop its flavour and texture. Different types of cheese undergo different ageing processes, which can range from a few weeks to even several years.
7. Enjoying: After waiting patiently, the cheese is ready to be eaten and enjoyed!

The specific type of milk, the method of processing, the ageing process, and the additional ingredients or techniques used during production all contribute to the wide variety of cheeses. Each cheese type has its unique flavour, texture, and characteristics, making it a beloved food enjoyed on its own and in countless culinary applications worldwide.

The healthiness of cheese depends on various factors, including the type of cheese, portion size, and an individual’s dietary needs. Cheese can be a good source of nutrients, such as calcium, protein, phosphorus, and vitamins A and B12; however, as with many other foods, it should be consumed in moderation, due to its high saturated fat and sodium content. If you have specific health requirements, it’s always best to consult a healthcare professional.

Eating cheese in very large quantities can contribute to weight gain due to its calorie density and fat content. As with all other foods, moderation is key for a balanced diet.

Yes, cheese can be suitable for kids in moderation, and can provide valuable nutrients for their growth and development.

Processed cheese contains cheese and other ingredients, such as flavouring, emulsifying agents and salt, which are added to give it an additional delicious flavour and great meltability.

Natural cheese is obtained from an actual block of cheese that is produced by traditional production techniques and does not contain artificial flavouring.

Emborg’s Mild Cheddar has a traditional creamy flavour. Its smooth and firm texture makes it perfect for cooking and baking as well as for using on toast, and in sandwiches and burgers.
Our Mature Cheddar has a more distinctive rich and sweet flavour, due to its 10 months of maturing.
Our Vintage Cheddar has matured for 16 months, which gives it a robust and full-bodied flavour and makes it drier as well as more crumbly.
Both Emborg Mature Cheddar and Emborg Vintage Cheddar can easily be enjoyed on their own, for example served with nuts and crackers, or in a salad for a more flavourful salad experience.

The white substance you can sometimes see on the surface of cheddar blocks is calcium lactate, which is a naturally occurring calcium build-up that occurs in aged cheese. It’s perfectly safe to eat. It forms during the natural aging process, and it usually means that the cheese is well-aged and flavourful.

Our shredded cheeses are made from natural block cheese and are ready to use for both cooking and baking with a perfect melting ability.

We strongly recommend Emborg Shredded Mozzarella. It is mild in flavour and has a fantastic stretch, which makes it excellent for homemade pizza and lasagna.
Alternatively, try Emborg Pizza Topping, which is a more affordable shredded cheese for homemade pizza and lasagna. It melts to perfection and gives you that stretchy texture every time.

We would strongly recommend Emborg Pasta Cheese with its tasty blend of 50% shredded Gouda cheese and 50% shredded Maasdam cheese. This tasty 2-cheese blend is sure to bring out the best for your homemade pasta.
