Cabot Cheddar Contains 0g of Lactose Per Serving
It’s important to know that lactose is simply the natural sugar found in milk. To understand how cheese becomes lactose-free, first look to the cheesemaking process. To begin, curd is separated from whey (whey is where most of the lactose is). The curd eventually becomes cheese, and the whey is removed (along with it goes most of the lactose). The small amount of lactose that remains in the curd breaks down over time as the cheese ages, resulting in an aged low-lactose cheese or lactose-free cheese. So, cheeses that undergo this natural aging process — like cheddar — contain little to no lactose. So go ahead and enjoy Cabot Cheese, as it is naturally lactose-free!
