Cheese

What it is

Fermented, aged milk — one of humanity's oldest food technologies. Check whether it's the food or the powdered ghost of one.

Fermentation and aging concentrate the protein, fat, calcium, and K2 and break down much of the lactose — aged cheese is milk turned more digestible and nutrient-dense, not less. Real food; just confirm it isn't a processed "cheese product."
