Cheese is a concentrated dairy product made from animal milk fermented by lactic acid bacteria or coagulated with enzymes, and the whey is removed.

The cheese itself is mainly composed of protein, lipids and other nutrients. Cheese, like milk, is rich in calcium, zinc and other minerals and vitamins A and B2, and because it is made through fermentation, these nutrients are more easily absorbed by the human body.

Every kilogram of cheese products concentrates 10 kilograms of milk protein, calcium and phosphorus and other super brand nutrients needed by the human body. The unique fermentation process of cheese makes its nutrient absorption rate reach 96%-98%.
