Salt-free cheese and low-sodium cheese
Following a low-sodium diet fortunately doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite piece of cheese. Our salt-free cheeses (often referred to as low-sodium cheese) are specially prepared with a greatly reduced salt content. This allows you to continue enjoying your daily cheese sandwich, a responsible snack with drinks, or as a delicious flavor enhancer in your favorite warm dishes.
How is low-sodium cheese made?
During the preparation of traditional Gouda cheese, the cheese is immersed in a brine bath for flavor, firmness, and shelf life. With low-sodium cheese, this brining process is significantly adjusted. Much less salt is used, or special salt substitutes are utilized, causing the sodium content to drop drastically. The result? A soft, creamy cheese that perfectly helps you monitor your salt intake without compromising on the real cheese flavor.
Buy salt-free cheese
Low-sodium cheese is the ideal choice for anyone watching their blood pressure, wanting to spare their kidneys, or simply wanting to eat more consciously with less salt. At the Gouda Cheese Shop, you will find top-quality diet cheese that proves less salt absolutely does not mean less flavor. We cut the cheese fresh for you and carefully vacuum-pack it so that the cheese arrives at your home in perfect condition and buttery soft.

FAQ – Salt-free and Low-sodium cheese
What is the difference between salt-free and low-sodium cheese?
In practice, both terms are often used interchangeably. Cheese is almost never completely 'salt-free' because cow's milk naturally contains a tiny bit of sodium. However, low-sodium cheese contains significantly less added salt (sodium chloride) than regular cheese.
Does salt-free cheese have any flavor?
Absolutely! Although salt is a well-known flavor enhancer, the high-quality meadow milk and the traditional ripening process ensure that our low-sodium cheeses still have that delicious, creamy, and characteristic Gouda cheese flavor.
Is salt-free cheese also low in fat?
It can be, but it is not the same by default. Salt-free or low-sodium refers to the salt content, while low-fat cheese refers to the fat percentage. However, we do have cheeses in our assortment that are both low-sodium and reduced in fat. Ideal for a doubly responsible diet!
How should I store salt-free cheese?
Store the cheese in the refrigerator, preferably in the breathable cheese paper provided. Because this cheese contains less salt (which normally acts partly as a preservative), it is slightly more susceptible to drying out and mold formation. Always seal the cut surface well.
Is my salt-free cheese shipped refrigerated?
Yes, just like all our other cheeses, the low-sodium cheese is cut fresh from the wheel, immediately securely vacuum-packed, and shipped in the box with special cooling packs. This is how we guarantee the best quality and freshness.
