Best Answer

Cheese has salt for a couple of reasons. In many cases, it would taste funny without it. Salt is also a natural preservative, and is used as such particularly in cultures with warmer climates. Salt can also be used to inhibit, or in some cases to kill, the bacteria whose biological processes actually create the cheese, once a certain stage in the cheesemaking process has been reached.
