“A 4-ounce piece of solid farmhouse cheese supplies more than half of the adult nutritional requirements for protein, fat, calcium, and phosphorous as well as significant portions of vitamins A, B2, and B12.” (Note: For a $28/lb cheese, that’s $7)

  A 3.5-ounce (100-gram) chunk of hard, aged cheese contains about twice as much protein and one quarter the cholesterol of an equivalent amount of chicken eggs (two eggs are about 100 grams).
