Food & Drink / Cheese consumption
Spanish term or phrase: es la forma de consumo de
Source text:

El queso fresco o cualquier otra variedad es la forma de consumo de aproximadamente el 90% de los lácteos producidos en el país.

Por el momento, lo único que se me viene a la mente es "... is the manner/way/form of consumption" pero me parece que suena demasiado 'forzado' en inglés.

Desde ya, agradezco todas sus sugerencias.
