Dairy products are often offered in stores at a suspiciously low price. What is their nutritional content and how to recognize the palm from the milk, we will try to advise you in the following lines.
First we must note that the cheese with vegetable fat is too white, it looks almost like chalk. Its very structure is much looser than the real thing. If the original white brined cheese can be cut into a slice about 5 millimeters thick, which will not fall apart when stabbed with a fork, then with the "palm" cheese this is impossible. If it contains vegetable fats, it cracks even with stronger contact with soil.
The edges of lumps of real cheese are usually rounded, while the vegetable ones are sharp, say people familiar with the matter.
Palm cheese could be recognized by touch. It is not as elastic as the original, but rather soft because the ripening process is shortened. And its color varies from white to cream, and tastes slightly bitter. Real yellow cheese has the characteristic yellow color for food, and when cut it has a thick consistency and firm. It tastes like milk and is not bitter.
Another clever way to check the composition of your cheese is to cut it with a well-chilled knife. Vegetable fats will stick to the blade at low temperatures, and milk - no. The reason is in the unsaturated fatty acids in the palm, which are almost liquid at room temperature.
Of course, the surest way to prove vegetable fats in dairy products is in the laboratory, but hardly anyone would go that far in their research. However, if there are enthusiasts among you, the price of one sample is about BGN 200 and the probability of error is minimal, as the inspections are carried out under strict monitoring.
Experts advise you to avoid the consumption of dairy products with vegetable fats, because they are harmful to health. With regular use and sufficient accumulation in your body, they can lead to heart disease, cancer and problems with the gastrointestinal system.
