The Essential Nature of Cheese as a High-Value Dairy Product
Cheese, often celebrated as the 'gold of milk', stands among the world's most cherished dairy commodities, prized for its exceptional nutritional profile delivering rich protein, calcium, and essential fats. The global cheese market has continuously evolved, giving rise to innovative processed formats including cheese sticks—a convenient, portion-controlled snack that has secured substantial market presence across retail and foodservice sectors. However, the very characteristics that make cheese nutritionally valuable—its moisture content, pH profile, and fat composition—also create an environment conducive to microbial proliferation. This reality elevates commercial sterilization from a mere processing step to an absolute cornerstone of cheese stick manufacturing, ensuring that safety, quality, and shelf stability are uncompromised from production to consumption.
