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
