Benefits of Hard Cheese

According to the National Dairy Council, Americans are eating more cheese and dairy products than ever before. For men, women and children of all ages, there are many health benefits associated with eating cheese. Cheese products not only contain bone enhancing calcium, but also nutrients such as Vitamin B12, zinc and riboflavin. Diets rich in Cheddar, Swiss and processed American cheese have also been proven to prevent tooth decay and curb hypertension. Health experts also recommend cheese products as a snack treat alternative to junk food, especially for youngsters. And, because many yellow cheeses feature high concentrations of calcium, it is an important dietary factor in the prevention of osteoporosis, a debilitating bone disease that affects both older men and women. Tnuva feature a wide selection of healthy hard cheeses in the bright-red EMEK resealable packages including Cheddar, Swiss, American Cheese, Edam, Muenster and Emek Cheese Bites. They are all fortified with calcium and other important nutrients.

Why Cheddar Cheese Is Good For The Whole Family

It might taste a bit sharp, but cheddar cheese is laced with a variety of nutrients that are "oh, so good" for everyone in the family. According to numerous health resources, cheddar cheese contains high levels of calcium, and protein, which are essential for building and maintaining strong bones and the digestive system.

Even more fascinating is the fact that recent dental studies have determined that cheddar cheese can actually reduce the risk of dental caries (aka tooth decay). The theory behind this discovery is that scientists and dentists alike believe that cheddar cheese stimulates the flow of saliva, which contains "healthy germs"that defend against tooth decay.

Cheddar is also almost devoid of lactose, which makes the cheese especially popular for those people who suffer from lactose digestive problems.

Tnuva's Emek Sliced Cheddar Cheese is a healthy complement to toasts, casseroles, soups and a variety of other dishes that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Cheese Could Solve U.S. Calcium Problem

According to the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, the average American is not consuming enough calcium, potassium or magnesium in healthy quantities, placing both youngsters and adults at risk for diseases associated with a lack of vital nutrients.

The journal maintains that 3-4 servings of dairy foods each and every day would help children and adults meet the basic daily nutrient levels needed to maintain strong bodies. Dairy foods have also been associated with "heart healthy" programs for both youngsters and adults. Today, many children and adolescents suffer from heart related maladies due to the consumption of junk food.

A wide range of Tnuva dairy products feature a significant amount of calcium including Emek Cheddar, Edam, Swiss, Muenster and Kashkaval Cheeses (91% fat-free), as well as Tnuva's Chocolate Mousse dessert snack treat. Emek Cheeses represent both a tasty and vital addition to your daily nutritional regimen.

The Secrets of Quark

During the past year, Tnuva has introduced a range of “Quark-Creamy Soft Cheeses" as part of the company's 'Try Something Fresh' campaign. Did you also know that Tnuva is perhaps the ONLY company in the USA that is offering this range of healthy European dairy delicacy to American consumers?

Quark cheese has its origins in Eastern Europe where it became popular because of its low-fat, high-calcium, no salt ingredients. However, because consumers in different countries across the European continent have different "tastes", Quark cheese is currently sold in wedge-like form in Poland, while in Germany a distinctly sweeter version is used as a dessert treat. In fact, Quark cheese has also become a popular staple for amateur and professional bakers who wish to create high-quality, low-fat cheesecakes (Kasekuchen in German).

Most people have described Quark cheese as a cross between sour cream and ricotta cheese. Besides cheesecakes, Quark cheese is used by consumers for tasty sandwiches and salads. Tnuva's Quark-Creamy Soft Cheeses have been perfected for American taste buds in the Land of Milk & Honey, where premium milk products are used in the process. Four healthy versions of this product are available at select supermarkets and grocery stores in your area including: 91% Fat-Free Creamy Soft Cheese, 95% Fat-Free Creamy Soft Cheese, 97% Fat-Free Creamy Soft Cheese and 0grams (Fat-Free) Creamy Soft Cheese.
