It belongs to the milk and dairy product family, carries a Nutri-Score of D and is classified in NOVA group 3, offering low sugar (2.9 g) and low salt (0.09 g) per 100 g but containing very high total fat (30 g) and saturated fat (20 g), resulting in 293 kcal per 100 g. While its eco-score of B reflects a moderate environmental footprint, the high saturated-fat level means it should be enjoyed in moderation, mainly as a culinary ingredient for sauces, desserts, or baking.
