✅ Roasted with garlic for a healthy snack

✅ Blended into dressings or dips

Microbial interactions shape cheese flavour formation

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-41059-2

"Fermented foods based on microbial consortia (e.g., cheese, kefir and kombucha) constitute a large part of the modern diet with many reported health benefits1,2,3. In cheese, well defined Starter Lactic Acid Bacteria (SLAB) cultures are used to ensure consistent and flavourful products. During cheese making, microbes encounter dynamic conditions characterized by different nutrient availability and different stresses, starting with an initial feast during milk fermentation, followed by a long period of famine during cheese ripening. Cheese-making thus provides a controlled system with well characterized dynamics to understand the role of microbial interactions in shaping the characteristics and quality of fermented foods."

Cheese fermentation and flavour formation are the result of complex biochemical reactions driven by the activity of multiple microorganisms. Here, the authors identify microbial interactions as a mechanism underlying flavour formation in Cheddar cheese.
