Meaning of the fat content in 45+ cheese
Many people are aware that 45+ cheeses are lower in fat than, say, a 50+ cheese or an 80+ cheese. However, people often make the mistake of thinking that in the case of a 45+ cheese, the cheese consists of 45% fat, but this is absolutely not the case.
This is because a cheese consists of water and solid nutrients, generally the distribution is 40% water and 60% solid nutrients. The fat content ‘45+’ refers only to the solids, because water contains no fat. So it is not the case that a 100-gram piece of cheese contains 45 grams of fat. The fat content in grams will then be between 28 and 31 grams (45% of 60 grams).
The meaning of the plus sign
The plus sign indicates the difference in fat content in a young and an old cheese. Because an old cheese has matured longer, it contains less moisture and more solids. So this also means that there is proportionally more fat in old cheese than in young cheese.
