Choosing & preparing cheese
How to choose
Buy in blocks and grate fresh — pre-shredded cheese is coated with anti-caking starch that hampers melting. Match the cheese to the job: good melters (mozzarella, gruyère) versus crumblers (feta, parmesan).
Prep & storage
Let cheese come to room temperature for the fullest flavour. Add delicate cheeses off the heat to stop them splitting; build a smooth sauce with a roux or a starch.
Nutrition
A calcium- and protein-rich food; it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, so a little sharp cheese goes a long way.
Classic flavour partners: tomatoes, bread, wine, pasta, black pepper, honey
