Lactose content of various foods

  • Lactose is present in all milk products. Its concentration, however, varies. In the case of cheese, you can say that the fresher the cheese, the more lactose it contains. Cheese stored for a longer time (e.g. Pecorino), on the contrary, has rather a lower content of lactose.

    Milk powder has the highest content of lactose, and it is used very often in readymade products.
