Why does FORMAGGIO GRATTUGIATO receive a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri‑Score D is driven mainly by its high energy (400 kcal per 100 g), high saturated‑fat (19 g) and moderate salt (1.3 g), which outweigh the benefit of low sugars and high protein.

How does the high saturated‑fat and salt content of this grated cheese affect people with cardiovascular concerns?

Elevated saturated‑fat can raise LDL cholesterol, while added salt may increase blood pressure; therefore individuals with heart disease or hypertension should consume this cheese sparingly and balance it with lower‑fat, lower‑salt foods.

Is the milk in this grated cheese a concern for lactose‑intolerant individuals?

The product contains both cow and sheep milk, but fermentation reduces lactose to about 0.3 g per 100 g, so most mildly lactose‑intolerant people can tolerate small portions, though highly sensitive consumers should avoid it.
