Guidelines for buying cheese
Buy from a retailer that has strict food hygiene and safety policy to ensure any cheese being sold is safe and fit for consumption
Use - by date
Buy cheese in small amounts, food waste + short shelf life
Properly sealed - quicken spoilage

Leave cheese in its original wrapping until ready to use, blue cheese - box (moisture and air required)
Use fresh cheese within two or three days and pre packaged cheese before it’s use by date

Nutritional value of milk
Protein - caseinogen, lactalbumin and lactoglobulin
Fat - (careful of fat intake) saturated fat present in small droplets dispersed through milk (making it easy to digest)
Carbs - disaccharide lactose (sugar) lacks dietary fibre and starch
Vits - A+D, B group, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin.
Minerals - excellent source of calcium, some phosphorus, trace magnesium and potassium, lacks iron
Water - high water content
Dietetic value of milk
Easily digestible, HBV (growth and repair) (c,t,pw)
Calcium (strong bones) (c,a)
Low fat or skimmed milk have a reduced saturated fat content individuals with high cholesterol or on calorie controlled diets should choose these
Variety (suit varying tastes and dietary needs)
Versatile culinary uses e.g drinks, baking and sauces
Inexpensive - economical food
Lacks starch, dietary fibre, iron and vit C, should be combined with foods rich in these to balance the diet
Homogenisation
Process - Milk is heated 60 degrees, it is then forced under pressure through a machine with tiny holes that break up the large fat globules and disperse them evenly throughout the milk
Effects - improves texture and flavour of milk as smaller fat globules are evenly dispersed
