Everything is counterfeited these days, and cheeses are no exception. Moreover, cheese is much more often counterfeited than other products. It is very difficult to get real cheese today. Cheese of famous brands, made by some unknown person, are sold everywhere. But you can still distinguish a real product from a fake one.
Instructions
Step 1
Color is the first thing to look out for. Hard varieties are only yellow. When you buy pale cheese, you run the risk of getting a product that contains soy and herbal supplements. There is also soy cheese. It is white. That is why cheeses that contain soy have a pale hue.
Step 2
Real cheese must be with holes, they are also called eyes. Pay special attention to this! If you have a "blind" cheese in front of you, it means that it was made in violation of the technology, and they put in it completely different from what is put in real cheese.
Step 3
If the cheese crumbles or is too hard, this is also a sign of a poor quality product. Too much softness is also not a sign of quality. Such cheese is obtained if the technology of its preparation was not followed, as well as when the aging period was violated. Cheese can also crumble due to the fact that it has been subject to freezing and subsequent defrosting.
