Which is the least processed/healthiest choice of cheese I can add to my toast?

Ven S.
For a healthier, less processed cheese option for your toast, consider:

1. Fresh Cheese: Fresh cheeses like cottage cheese, ricotta, or mozzarella are less processed, lower in sodium, and often contain fewer additives. They also have a higher moisture content, which means they’re naturally lower in fat.
2. Goat Cheese: Goat cheese has a creamy texture, is easier to digest for some people, and is typically less processed than aged cheeses. It’s also lower in lactose and calories.
3. Feta: Traditionally made from sheep or goat milk, feta is another good choice, especially if it’s stored in brine rather than packaged with preservatives.
4. Swiss Cheese: Though aged, Swiss cheese is generally lower in sodium than many processed varieties, making it a good balance between flavor and health.

Adding any of these in moderation can boost the nutrition in your toast while keeping the ingredients minimally processed!

Avoid pre sliced cheese, or cream cheese which are more processed, choose block of cheese instead. Parmesan is healthy and has a lot of protein, but you can have brie, emmental, gouda, unprocessed cheddar, or mozarella. Feta or cottage cheese are good options too.
