Product Insights
Shepherd's Cheese is a German cow‑milk cheese aged in brine, classified under the milk and dairy product family and specifically as cheese.

The product falls into NOVA group 3, indicating it is a processed cheese rather than ultra‑processed, and its plastic packaging adds an environmental downside.
