Why is Emmental French grated classified as a processed cheese (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The cheese is produced by heating, pressing and fermenting cow's milk with salt, lactic ferments and a coagulant; these steps place it in the NOVA 3 category, and the ingredient list shows no added preservatives or other additives.

What effect does the high saturated fat content of this cheese have on heart health?

At 19 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the cheese can raise LDL cholesterol levels, which may increase cardiovascular risk if eaten in large amounts; moderate consumption is advised for heart‑healthy diets.

Can this grated Emmental be included in a keto or low‑carb diet, and is it safe for people with lactose intolerance?

With only 0.5 g of total carbs per 100 g, the cheese fits well into keto and other low‑carb plans, but it still contains roughly 4.9 g of lactose per 100 g, so it may cause symptoms for those who are lactose intolerant.
