Cheese, oh glorious cheese. It is everything to us.
How does one even resist cheese? Besides its charming good looks, cooking and incorporating cheese into different dishes just makes everything more wonderful with the milky goodness. When cheese melts, we squeal; when the cheese stretches with every pull, our eyes light up.
It is undeniable that cheese is the best “condiment” for food. And if you are with us, here are 8 Reasons Why Cheese Is The Best Thing Ever.
#1 BIG VARIETY OF CHEESES
There are so many different types of cheeses out there – from the intense blue cheese, to the soft and stretchy ones. You can have brie on a cracker, mozzarella on your pizza and burrata on your salad. There’s a cheese for everything and you’d never get bored.
#2 CHEESECAKES
Yup, that’s it. Cheesecake. Cheesecakes are divine, and they are one of the best desserts around. Creamy good ol’ cheesecakes, flavoured cheesecakes, cheesecakes with ice cream… we are up for a slice (or two) any time.

#3 IT ALWAYS GETS YOU EXCITED
Do you get so excited and your heart starts to race every time you see cheese on the menu or spot a cheese dish from afar? We don’t know about you, but cheese always tugs our heartstrings and it just makes eating a lot more exciting.
“Life is great. Cheese makes it better.”
#4 ADDS AN OOMPH TO YOUR FOOD
Cheese adds flavour to anything. Pizzas, pastas, salads, baked rice – name them all, and *sings* if you like it put a cheese on it. We love our cheeses melted, and that liberated moment when we dig into our food and tears the cheese… sheer joy.
#5 TOO CHEESY? NAH.
Think about it, cheese just enhances anything. It makes anything better. Sometimes, we add so much that we forget if we are eating cheese, or the main. Cheesy pasta? Yes, the way to go is cheese > pasta.

#6 CHEESE WHEEL, BABY
We don’t get to see a cheese wheel every day, but when we see one, our hearts sure skip a beat! Whatever else that we had wanted from the menu, we’d forgo and dive straight for that damned dish that is prepared in a cheese wheel. Remember that there is no such thing as too cheesy a pasta.
“There is absolutely no one, apart from yourself, who can prevent you, in the middle of the night, from sneaking down to tidy up the edges of that hunk of cheese at the back of the fridge.”
#7 VERSATILITY
Cheese is very versatile. You can have it on its own or to complement a dish. It works well with snacks, it works well with soup, it works well with carbs; anything goes. And that is also why we can eat cheese all day every day. Because of the sheer variety available in the market, there are always new discoveries and recipes to play around with. Life is made more colourful and surprising with cheese, indeed.
#8 CHEESY IS HEALTHY
Because cheese boasts several health benefits, this dairy product is beneficial. Different cheese has different nutrient values, but whatever they are, you know you need cheese in your life. You choose the cheese life; geddit?
