About Low-fat cheese

Low-fat cheese is a dairy product crafted to provide the taste and texture of traditional cheese with reduced fat content. Typically made from skim or partially skimmed milk, it contains fewer calories and less saturated fat than regular cheese while still offering essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamin D. Low-fat cheese comes in various forms, including mozzarella, cheddar, and feta, making it versatile in global cuisines such as Italian, Mexican, and Mediterranean dishes. Its lighter profile makes it a popular choice for those seeking heart-healthy or weight-conscious options, though it may have slightly higher sodium levels or lack the richness of full-fat varieties. Perfect for salads, sandwiches, or cooking, low-fat cheese allows enjoyment of classic flavors with a nutritional edge. Consumers should read labels carefully to ensure they choose options with minimal additives or higher sodium levels.
