Calories: Helps to determine energy content. Lower-calorie cheeses may be preferable for calorie-conscious individuals.
Saturated Fat: Linked to heart health; cheeses with lower saturated fat might be better for managing cholesterol.
Sodium is important for blood pressure management. Some cheeses, especially feta and blue cheese, are quite high in sodium.

These values are approximate and can vary depending on the brand and specific type of cheese.
