Did you know that brie is also suitable for those who are lactose intolerant?

For soft cheeses like Brie and semi-hard cheeses, we can definitely say that these contain only traces of lactose and are therefore well tolerated.

During the fermentation phase, lactose is broken down by bacteria and transformed into lactic acid.

Brie belongs to the category of unaged cheeses, or short-aged cheeses, which still present a reduced lactose content.

These types of cheeses are rich in lactic bacteria that reduce lactose in the product.

During aging, the remaining lactose is completely destroyed.

Long-aged cheeses are therefore completely lactose-free and can also be consumed by lactose intolerant individuals.
