Cathedral City Lactose Free
Cathedral City Lactose Free is a lactose-free cheddar from Cathedral City, made in Cornwall: creamy and smooth, with lactose kept at no more than 0.01%.
Cathedral City Lactose Free is a lactose-free cheddar from the British brand Cathedral City, owned by Saputo Dairy UK. It is made at the Davidstow creamery in Cornwall from cow's milk with a vegetarian enzyme. The taste is creamy, smooth and full of flavour, like a regular matured cheddar.
The maker ensures the lactose level does not exceed 0.01% and tests the cheese with an accredited method. Matured hard cheeses are naturally low in lactose, because part of it leaves with the whey and the rest breaks down during ripening; a separate range with a tested level gives certainty to people who need it.
How to use it: like regular cheddar, in sandwiches and toasties, omelettes, sauces, bakes and macaroni cheese. It melts and grates well. Keep it in the fridge with the cut face tightly wrapped; the block can be frozen and thawed in the fridge.
The brand also makes Cathedral City Cheddar, Cathedral City Lighter and the Snacking range. Cheddar belongs to the hard cheeses.
Why it matters to you: with lactose intolerance, a label backed by a tested level is more reliable than the general rule about aged cheeses; if in doubt, ask your doctor.
