Not easy to memorize the list of cheeses light or to avoid when making your choice at the supermarket, at the market or at your cheesemonger. The right reflex? Take a look at the composition label of the cheese you have chosen. It still appears there cheese fat percentage and even if there is theoretical data, it can be affected by different factors such as the addition of cream, the different stages of manufacturing, the presence of whole milk, semi-skimmed milk, etc.
But you still have to read the labels carefully! The percentage of fat indicated corresponds in fact to the fat content calculated on the dry extract, without taking into account the water in the cheese, as required by regulations. Result ? The percentage displayed is often much higher than the actual content.
Another reflex? Remember that, in general, hard cheeses are the fattest. And for good reason: the more water a cheese contains, the less calories it has. And hard cheeses contain less water than others and, therefore, the fat indicated on the label is quite faithful to reality.
