Summary
This organic cheese blend is composed of minimally processed cheeses made from organic cultured pasteurized milk, which provides high-quality protein and calcium. The use of microbial and animal enzymes is traditional in cheese-making, contributing to its nutritional value. However, the inclusion of powdered cellulose to prevent caking slightly increases the processing level, which limits the score despite the clean ingredient list.
