Fresh cheese. Nature: cold and wet. Optimum: from temperate milk and healthy animals. Benefit: it relaxes and fattens the body. Harm: it produces obstructions. Remedy for harm: with walnuts and almonds. Effects: good, very fatty food. Most advisable for hot [temperaments], youth, in summer, in hot, southern regions; according to others, in winter and in cold regions, which I do not believe unless digested better.
