Unfortunately, not always on the shelves of shops there are dairy products suitable for consumption. You should know how to correctly determine the quality of purchased cheese, sour cream, butter and fermented milk products so that the purchased food is fresh, tasty and healthy.
The most popular dairy products to look out for are:
1. Cheese.
2. Sour cream
3. Fermented milk products.
4. Butter.
How to check cheese
Quality cheese has a yellowish and uniform color. If the color is lighter on the cut, it means that the product contains a dye. In addition, the cheese eyes must have the correct shape when cut. Cheese, which has a loose and non-uniform structure, is a low quality product. This is evidenced by the mark on the packaging "cheese product".
The quality of fermented milk products
Do you use fermented milk products - yogurt, sour cream, kefir and so on? Yogurt is usable for no longer than one month. It is generally believed that beneficial bacteria cannot last longer than two weeks. However, manufacturers have set a shelf life of one month. Therefore, yoghurt that is stored for longer than this period will not benefit your health and the health of your loved ones. And the taste of your dishes can spoil.
High-quality sour cream has a homogeneous structure, without lumps and watery stratifications. The color of a good sour cream should be white and the smell should not be sour. No water should form on the surface of the sour cream. If it is present, then the technology for making sour cream has been violated. A sour cream product, like a cheese product, is not worth buying.
The quality of the butter
As for butter, it should not contain vegetable fats. The best preserved butter is stored in foil packaging. High-quality oil at room temperature becomes softer, but does not lose its shape. Small droplets of butter may appear on the cut.
Buy dairy products from major supermarkets or reputable suppliers. Health depends on the quality of food!
