As demand for convenient, great-tasting protein grows, cheese is returning to the spotlight, with some brands highlighting its natural benefits and others launching protein-boosted dairy products—like Vepo Cheese's Cheez’Up High-Protein Cheese. Made with 100% natural ingredients, this Dutch cheese product boasts a mild taste, creamy texture, and 30 grams of protein per 100 grams and with minimal fat and no carbs. By lowering the fat content of traditional Dutch cheese (Cheez’Up High-Protein Cheese has just 15 grams of fat per 100 grams) Vepo Cheese naturally increased the protein content to appeal to health-conscious eaters and vegetarians.
Cheez’Up High-Protein Cheese can be purchased in several different formats for different occasions and uses, including grated cheese, sliced cheese and snackable 20-gram sticks for a quick way to refuel and replenish on the go.
