I see lactose free ice cream all the time and I always opt for the regular just because I worry it won't taste the same. Is it worth the trade off? Good ice cream itself is already worth the consequences for me but I dunno about meh ice cream. Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content. Create a personalised content profile.

For example, soft cheeses like brie as well as hard ones like cheddar or Monterey Jack are low in lactose, but they go through two totally different processes, he says.
Harder cheeses have the whey drained out of the cheese vat before the curds are packed into cheese forms for pressing. But softer cheeses, like brie and Camembert, don't have their whey removed until after the curds are put into cheese forms, where "they will slowly drip out of the newly formed cheeses," Hatch says. Exactly when the whey is removed—whether at the beginning or the end—doesn't really impact the amount of lactose a cheese will end up with.
What really determines that is the next step, fermentation, which begins as soon as lactic acid bacteria which can be naturally occurring or added starts metabolizing the milk's lactose and turning it into lactic acid. This can begin at any time during the process depending on how a cheesemaker manipulates certain conditions, like temperature, moisture, and salt, Hatch explains. And, he adds, fermentation can happen before whey is drained and after it's all gone—it will only stop when all the available lactose has been converted into lactic acid.
Aged cheeses, both hard and soft—like Parmesan or brie—contain so little lactose that it's virtually undetectable, Sasson says. In fact, things like cheddar and blue cheese can have as little as 0. The key here is the extended aging and fermenting process, which can last for decades in some cases.
Any lactose that remains in a cheese after the whey has been drained will gradually be converted into lactic acid during lengthy aging processes , explains Lisa Sasson, clinical professor of nutrition at New York University. Because of this, the longer the aging process, the less lactose a cheese will have. In fact, Strange says that most cheeses that have been aged for over nine months won't contain any at all.
In one lab test of different dairy products , researchers found that the levels of lactose in Swiss cheese, brie, Limburger, and even feta were so small they couldn't even be detected. There's not really a hard and fast rule for exactly how long a cheese should be aged to warrant "aged" on a label. Some labels will say how long the item was aged for; others may not.
So while picking an aged cheese is a good general guideline for making a low-lactose choice, it's not foolproof. If you'd like to know more specifically about how a cheese was made or exactly how long it was aged, the best way to do so is to look up the company that makes it, and you can even reach out to them and ask.
Of course, some people with lactose intolerance simply cannot tolerate any milk products without discomfort. Each product we feature has been independently selected and reviewed by our editorial team. If you make a purchase using the links included, we may earn commission.
