Cheese is a dairy product made by coagulating the protein casein in milk. Its variety is determined by the origin of pasteurization, butterfat, protein, milk, mold, bacteria, aging, and processing. It has a longer shelf life than milk and other milk products and it is an excellent source of proteins, calcium, fats, phosphorus, and other essential nutrients. As a result, it is widely consumed across the GCC region.
The rapid growth in population, in confluence with the rising number of individuals who are adopting healthy eating habits, is propelling the growth of the cheese market in the GCC region. Moreover, various manufacturers are introducing a variety of products, including processed cheese slices, cheddar cheese in cans and tubs, and cream cheese in jars.
