What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the specialty cheese case or on a curated deli shelf — ideal for a weekend brunch board or an elegant appetizer at a small gathering. It feels indulgent and slightly luxurious: creamy tangy goat cheese topped with sweet fig spread and crunchy Marcona almonds for contrast. The ingredients suggest mostly minimally- to moderately-processed components (fresh cheese, preserved fruit spread with pectin and acids, salted oil-roasted nuts) rather than highly industrial formulations, so expect natural textures with a preserved-sweet layer rather than ultra-creamy emulsified textures typical of ultra-processed items.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Contains whole-food components (cheese, nuts, figs) and a simple fruit spread with added sugar, pectin and acidity regulators consistent with processed foods rather than multi-ingredient industrial formulations; therefore it aligns with NOVA 3 (processed) rather than ultra-processed (NOVA 4).
