About Neufchatel cheese
Neufchatel cheese is a soft, unripened cheese originating from Normandy, France, dating back over a thousand years. It is traditionally made from cow's milk and salt and has a creamy texture and mild, tangy flavor, often compared to cream cheese. Unlike cream cheese, Neufchatel is lower in fat, making it a lighter option for spreads, dips, or recipes. It contains protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function, but is still relatively high in sodium and saturated fat. Available in various forms, including heart-shaped molds, it plays a versatile role in French cuisine and beyond. For those watching their calorie intake, Neufchatel can be a suitable alternative to heavier cheeses, though it’s important to consume it in moderation. Whether enjoyed plain or incorporated into dishes, Neufchatel offers a balance of indulgence and nutritional benefit.
