What is Lactic Cheese?
You may have noticed lactic cheese while browsing stores and wondered how it differs from other types of cheese. If you’ve ever experienced digestive issues, intestinal or stomach inflammation, your doctor may have recommended consuming lactic or probiotic dairy products.
Lactic cheese is one of the tastiest and healthiest cheeses made from fresh milk, enriched with lactic acid bacteria. These bacteria feed on the lactose in milk, ferment it, and produce a flavorful cheese.
For a complete and nutritious breakfast, pairing lactic cheese with fresh butter and whole-grain bread is an excellent choice. You can also enjoy it with fresh cream for breakfast or an afternoon snack to enhance both nutrition and flavor.
