Is Gouda farmer’s cheese lactose free?

Lactose intolerance is an annoying intolerance to live with. But the good news is that there are many lactose-free dairy products on the market today. We are happy to explain to you when Gouda farm cheese is lactose-free in the ripening process.

What is lactose and lactose intolerance

Lactose is a type of sugar that occurs in milk and dairy products. That is why it is also called milk sugar. This sugar is also found in certain cheeses. For example, young and young matured cheese sometimes still contain lactose. However, as cheese matures, the milk sugars are converted into lactic acids, which reduces the lactose content. Some people have difficulty digesting lactose; this is called lactose intolerance. In this condition, people are more likely to experience stomach problems due to the sugars that are not properly broken down in the body.

But how do you know if the Gouda farm cheese you want to eat is lactose-free?

If you follow the following guidelines, we are on the right track…..

Cheese is made by adding rennet to milk. Rennet ensures that the solid part (curd) of the milk separates from the liquid (whey). And the liquid contains the most lactose. Hard cheeses contain little liquid and therefore less lactose. In addition, the lactose is converted into lactic acid during ripening, i.e. because the lactose is converted during the ripening process of the cheese into lactic acid, we can say that mature Gouda cheeses are the key if you have a lactose intolerance and want to eat cheese.

How much lactose one can eat varies per person. Roughly speaking, we can say that with hard cheeses (from mature) the cheese is almost lactose-free (approximately 0.1 gram per 100 grams of cheese).

These aged Gouda cheeses with the following maturation period are virtually lactose free:

  • Gouda farmer’s cheese: matured for 8 months.
  • Gouda farmer’s cheese: matured for 12 months.
  • Gouda farmer’s cheese: matured for 24 months.
  • Gouda farmer’s cheese: matured for 36 months.

The degree to which someone is lactose intolerant varies from person to person. Most people do not experience any complaints with cheese that contains less than 1 gram of lactose per 100 grams of cheese. But one person can tolerate much less, and another a lot more. It is therefore important that you get a feeling for what you can and cannot do.

Cheese: Are There Health Benefits

It is even smart to eat cheese! Cheese is rich in various vitamins such as vitamin A, B2 and B12. In addition, it is a source of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, zinc and selenium. Cheese contains protein and fat and little or no carbohydrates.

Do you suffer from lactose intolerance? Don’t worry, because you can still enjoy cheese! From mature cheese, the milk sugars are converted into lactic acids, so that there is no more lactose in the cheese. This means that mature Gouda cheese are lactose-free.
