We know it’s a dairy product, but what about all the additives and preservatives?
That’s a great question…but a hard one to get an answer that we will totally love. Those single slices of American cheese are filled with preservatives because they help inhibit the growth of yeast and mold. But get this….those same preservatives are often used in our wine!
Swiss, Sharp, Feta….. if you do your personal research, you can find cheese that is void of those harmful additives.
Some of the healthiest cheese you can find is raw. These cheeses are made from raw milk that has not been pasteurized. Raw cheese contains an array of beneficial enzymes and nutrients and is therefore more easily digested than cheeses made from pasteurized milk.
Don’t be afraid to try “raw milk” cheeses. For example, Parmigiano Reggiano can’t legally be called Parmigiano Reggiano unless it’s made from raw milk. You can purchase some raw milk cheese from an organic source at your farmers market or at your local health food stores or organic stores.
