Summary
Gruyére Cheese is a processed cheese with a relatively clean ingredient list, primarily composed of pasteurized milk and cheese culture, which provide essential nutrients like calcium and protein. However, the presence of an anti-caking blend, including natamycin, introduces a level of processing and additives that slightly detract from its overall healthiness. Despite this, the cheese maintains a good nutritional profile with high protein content and minimal harmful ingredients.
