Cheese - natural, delicious and nutritious

Cheese is made purely from milk - a high energy food, it's packed with protein, and is a rich source of calcium (essential for bone health) and other valuable vitamins and minerals.

  • Historically, cheese has been a Western staple food. Modern weight watchers are wary of cheese for the same reason their hard working ancestors chose it - it can be high in energy and therefore calories.
  • Generally, softer cheeses have less fat because of their higher moisture content. (The exception being those decadent double cream cheeses).
  • Lower fat varieties of cheese are increasing in popularity. Feta has about 44% less fat than traditional cheddars and the seemingly indulgent Camembert and Brie have approximately 28% less.
