Lactose-free spanish cheeses for intolerants

At Los Vázquez we are aware of the people who cannot ingest lactose, that is why for several years we have been innovating and creating our range of lactose-free cheeses, cheeses that although they do not contain any lactose have the same taste and smell as a normal cheese.

How are lactose-free cheeses made at Los Vázquez?

Lactose is a sugar present in animal milk and therefore is found in cow, sheep or goat milk. Although in cheese, the older it is, the less lactose it contains.

The elaboration of lactose-free cheeses is the same as the process of lactose cheeses, but during the process, an enzyme called lactase is added. This enzyme is what prevents the milk sugar from being broken down into galactose and glucose.

Types of lactose-free cheeses

In Los Vazquez cheeses we have a great variety of cheeses without lactose, both cured cheeses and fresh cheeses.
