What You Should Know

You'd find this Swiss cheese in the dairy aisle or deli case, sliced for sandwiches, melted on a grilled cheese, or arranged on a simple cheese board. It feels wholesome and a little nostalgic — evocative of school lunches, picnics, and cozy comfort food. The short ingredient list (part-skim milk, cultures, salt, enzymes) and natural texture from fermentation and enzymatic processing point to traditional cheesemaking rather than ultra-processing, aligning with a processed (not ultra-processed) profile.

Common Questions about Swiss Cheese

Swiss cheese can be a healthy addition to your diet, especially if you're looking for a good source of protein and calcium. With 8 grams of protein and 20% of your daily calcium needs in just one serving, it's a solid choice. Just remember, 'healthy' can mean different things depending on your diet goals, so it’s great for a balanced diet but might not fit into every specific eating plan.
