Product Insights
Tomme de brebis is a French pressed, uncooked cheese made from pasteurised sheep’s milk, placing it in the Milk and dairy products group (cheese sub‑category) and delivering about 22 g of protein per 100 g. It is rated Nutri‑Score D and falls into NOVA 4 (ultra‑processed) because the formulation includes additives such as annatto (E160b), potassium sorbate (E202) and natamycin (E235) along with crust colourants and preservatives. The cheese is low in sugar and provides a rich source of calcium, but its high fat (≈33 % fat, 24 g saturated fat per 100 g) and moderate salt (1.38 g) make it less suitable for low‑fat, low‑salt or dairy‑free diets.
