Product Insights
Harzer cheese with caraway is a German fermented cheese made from sour milk curd, classified in the milk and dairy products group and specifically as cheese. It carries a Nutri‑Score of C and is placed in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category, reflecting the presence of two food additives (calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) used as acidity regulators. Nutritionally it offers very high protein (29 g per 100 g) and almost no fat or carbs, but its salt level is high at 3.4 g per 100 g, which may be a concern for sodium‑restricted diets.
