    A little crunch in your cheese? Those bits are called tyrosine, and they’re actually amino acid clusters that form with age, a sign of a well-aged cheese!

  • Cheese Fact #2

    Cheese is most flavorsome when eaten at room temperature.

  • Cheese Fact #3

    Salt is necessary in cheese curds! It prevents bacteria from growing. It also is used as a preservative; dries the cheese and firms it; enhances the flavor!
