Product Insights
Harzer cheese is a traditional German sour milk cheese that falls under the Milk and dairy products group, specifically the cheese subcategory. It delivers 30 g of protein per 100 g while containing virtually no sugar or carbs, but its salt level is 3.4 g per 100 g and it is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4), resulting in a Nutri‑Score of C. The product is low in fat and saturated fat, making it relatively light, yet the high sodium and the presence of the additive calcium carbonate may be concerns for those monitoring sodium intake.
