Private label 35+ young

Own brand 35+ young,

Tasty 35+ young cheese with less fat and less salt, from our own brand “Veenlijner”.
This cheese owes its soft creamy taste to its short ripening time of only 5 weeks.

What is the difference between 35+ and 48+ cheese?

The 48+ cheese is made from whole (fat) milk, our Veenlijner is made from semi-skimmed milk (less fat).
Veenlijner is a cheese with a full flavor but less fat and less salt, so you can still enjoy a tasty cheese and eat consciously.
The number before the + indicates the amount of fat in the cheese, more precisely the amount of fat in the dry matter,
that is, if you remove all the moisture from the cheese, none will remain.

35+ cheese contains 35% fat?

A 35+ cheese does not consist of 35% fat. The dry matter consists of 35% fat. A little calculation: cheese consists of about 40% moisture and 60% dry matter. Then 100 grams of 35+ cheese contains 40 grams of moisture and 60 grams of dry matter. Of that dry matter, 35% is fat. 35% of 60 grams is 21 grams. conclusion in a kilo of young Veenlijne there is 210 grams of fat, and in a kilo of young Veense gouda 48+ 288 grams
in short: 100% taste with 28% less fat!
