Low-Fat Cheese

  • I'm having a very difficult time locating low-fat cheese. There is, of course, always mozzarella. However, besides the lite Swiss that I've only found at a few locations; well, I'm coming up empty-handed on low-fat cheese. Any suggestions?
    P.S. I like the Laughing Cow lite and I've tried the Soy cheese slices.
  • I get FF herbed Feta and it is AWESOME. It is in section of my grocery where the top shelf cheeses are kept. It costs about $5 for a block but is totally worth it.

    I also use FF Cream Cheese and LF Cottage Cheese often.

    Parmesean can be gotten LF as well.

    Can ya tell I love cheese?
  • Kraft makes low fat cheeses called 2%. You should be able to get them in Albertsons.

    Oh my, that Feta sounds de-lish! I'll have to see if I can find it.

    I love cheese, too!

    Thank you for the suggestions!
  • that feta does sound really yummie!
  • At Sam's Club (and probably Costco) you can get Cabot brand 50% light cheddar cheese. It is very good.

    Solus - are you in a big city? I live in a small town and our grocery store has very little selection of fat free cheeses. I think Kraft shredded cheddar and mozzarellla is about it. They do carry some low fat Sargento. They have a bit more reduced fat choices but I haven't found any parmasean. Is that the real stuff or that powdered type from Kraft? I usually go for the real stuff. Your fat free herbed Feta sounds wonderful! Is there a name brand on it (address/web site better yet)? Maybe I could find a store that sells it near by.

    Bless you, MaintenanceMomma! I will be heading to Costco for that Cabot brand 50% Light Cheddar!
    I guess I should have clarified in my original post, that I really need help finding low-fat and fat-free cheese that can be shredded and used in recipes.
