Fresh cheeses: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Fresh cheeses are dairy products that haven't been aged or ripened. This category includes items like cottage cheese, ricotta, cream cheese, and mozzarella, often found in the chilled section of supermarkets. They are a source of protein and calcium. When choosing fresh cheeses, check the nutrition label for salt content, as some varieties can be high. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises limiting salt intake. The ingredient list will show the main components; for example, plain cottage cheese typically lists milk, cream, and cultures. Some products may have added ingredients like fruit or flavourings, which can increase sugar content. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recommends checking the sugar content on labels, as free sugars should make up no more than 5% of your daily energy intake. Fibre is not typically found in fresh cheeses. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
