About Cheese, caraway
Caraway cheese is a firm, aged cheese - typically a European-style variety like Tilsit or a semi-hard Danish style - with whole caraway seeds pressed into the paste. The fat level is high, as you would expect from a full-fat aged cheese, and protein is strong. The small carbohydrate reading comes partly from the seeds and partly from residual lactose. Caraway adds a distinctive anise-adjacent flavor that makes this cheese work well on rye bread or alongside cured meats.
