Types of Cheese

The development of take away, ready meals and other convenience foods has resulted in a demand for cheese as an ingredient.

This is not a new concept, although in many cases the making of cheese sauces or even Welsh rarebit was considered only as a useful means to use up the 'leftovers'.Good food requires good raw materials and this is as true of cheese used as an ingredient as any food product.
