A2A2 cheese
In New Zealand, research was conducted in the early 1980s into the causes of milk allergies among people. This revealed that not all milk contains exactly the same properties. In fact, the opposite is true. These differences in properties are the result of the genes that cows possess. There are cows with the A1A1 gene, but also cows with the A1A2 gene or the A2A2 gene. This subtle difference means that people with a cow's milk allergy cannot tolerate A1A1 cheese, while they can in fact tolerate A2A2 cheese. And that is good news for cheese lovers with a cow’s milk allergy among us! From now on everyone can enjoy the delicious cheeses unhindered thanks to this discovery.
The A2A2 cheese phenomenon is already very large in Australia, China and New Zealand, among others. In the Netherlands this phenomenon also seems to be increasing in popularity. For example, several studies have already been conducted to discover the precise health effects of this cheese. But what is A2A2 cheese? And is it really possible that people with a cow's milk allergy can eat this type of cheese without any inconveniences?
