Finally a cheese for children (also appreciated by adults) with a healthy, low-fat composition to make them eat dairy with pleasure! In addition, this inexpensive dairy product costs less than 3 euros.
Specially designed to appeal to the youngest, cheeses for children found in the fresh produce section of supermarkets are essential in the family refrigerator. However, as Doctor Jean-Michel Cohen pointed out in his Buying guide to eating wellpublished by First, not all are equal to satisfy the nutritional needs of our dear little ones. Besides, they are not necessarily better than classic cheeses for them.
In his book, the expert warns against the well-established marketing of these dairy products intended for children, because for some, the latter is “winner, to the detriment of the quality of the recipe or sometimes even insufficient calcium or excessive salt intake”. To replace the popular spreadable cheese which is as fatty as Nutella, you can opt for a popular spreadable cheese which is better for your health. For those who prefer soft cheeses, you can eat a famous healthy and low-calorie cheese, or even Escargolo by P’tit Louis which are cheeses validated by Doctor Jean-Michel Cohen and other nutritionists, and which are one of the rare cheeses of their kind, both super healthy, rich in calcium and low in calories.

Escargolo de P’tit Louis: a low-calorie cheese rich in calcium
This “unrollable” spun cheese may have a very pleasant format for children and is very practical to take anywhere (especially for snacks), and also this neutral taste characteristic of cheeses for children that they like so much, it contains “few ingredients”which makes it a cheese healthy composition.
Made with only 3 ingredients, it’s a mixture of pasteurized milk (origin: EU), salt and ferments, that’s all. No additives or problematic substances are to be reported in its 100% natural recipe and rich in calcium. Each 17g portion of Escargolo cheese contains, in fact, 124 mg of calcium and represents only 47 calories, making it a low calorie cheese. The salt content of this cheese for children is also correct (0.21 g per serving), which is not always the case. “We validate!”, concludes the nutritionist.
