Ofri - Hard cheese from cow's milk in Italian style

About this product

The wellbeing score is 38%, which sits below the neutral 50% benchmark and suggests this hard cheese offers limited overall wellbeing support for regular consumption, largely due to its nutritional density. Its safety score of 86% indicates a relatively high margin of safety under typical serving conditions.

Supporting its role as a food for consumption, Pasteurized Cow's Milk provides the primary dairy base, contributing protein and calcium that form the cheese's structure and nutritional core. Salt acts as a preservative and flavor enhancer, helping to develop the characteristic Italian-style texture and extend shelf stability.

Concerns are primarily tied to the high sodium content from Salt, which carries medium-level risks including high intake harms and potential toxicity at overdose, as well as contributing to overall high sodium levels. Additionally, Pasteurized Cow's Milk may trigger reactions in individuals with a cow milk allergy, and presents low-level risks of lactose overload or heavy metal contamination.

Overall, this Italian-style hard cheese offers a conventional dairy profile with strong safety data, but its wellbeing score encourages mindful portion control due to sodium and milk-based sensitivities.
