The health benefits associated with cheese and its application in various food items are making it popular, and it is consumed by children also.
There are a lot of health benefits associated with the consumption of cheese, pushing consumers towards using it in their everyday meals. Some valuable contents in cheese include iron, calcium, fats, and others. Furthermore, some cheeses contain very little dairy and can be consumed by lactose-intolerant people. Moreover, cheese is treasured mostly by the younger generation, who like eating snacks such as grilled cheese. These factors are leading to a rise in demand for dairy products such as cheese and are bolstering the market's growth.

Processed cheese contains a lot of additives, so it takes away the benefits of natural cheese. Processed cheese has high quantities of fats, calories, and salt, which are some leading factors that lead to diseases such as obesity, and hypertension. In addition, food colourings are present in the cheese to make it more appealing to the consumers, and emulsifiers are present to thicken the cheese. However, while the prolonged shelf life may inspire consumers to consume processed cheese, growing health consciousness weighs heavily and encourages people to switch to natural cheese.Cheese from cow's milk is consumed more than cheese from other types of milk.
There are different types of milk, such as cow milk, buffalo milk, goat milk, and sheep milk, that are used to prepare different types of cheese globally. However, the cheese produced by using cow milk is consumed more and preferred more among the consumers since cow milk is relatively higher in fat content than others and contains about 3.25% of fat; thus, it is the ideal option. In addition, even the most famous and globally well-known cheese is produced using cow milk, such as Muenster, Swiss, Parmesan, and Gouda.Regional Outlook
