About Cheese, dry white, queso seco

Cheese is a beloved dairy food made by curdling milk, usually from cows, goats, or sheep, with rennet or acid, then separating and pressing the solid curds into shape. From there, aging, added cultures, and technique create an enormous range, from soft fresh mozzarella and creamy brie to sharp aged cheddar, nutty Parmesan, washed-rind stinkers, and tangy blue cheese veined with mold. Cheese is a concentrated source of protein and calcium, along with fat, fat-soluble vitamins, and a salty, savory depth that makes it a favorite for snacking and cooking alike.

It melts into pizza, pasta, fondue, and grilled sandwiches, crumbles over salads, and stars on cheese boards with fruit, nuts, and crackers. Because flavor and firmness intensify as cheese ages and loses moisture, harder aged cheeses tend to taste much stronger than soft young ones. Wrapped in parchment or wax paper rather than plastic so it can breathe, and kept in the refrigerator, most cheese keeps for weeks, and many types freeze for cooking.
