Eatlean Protein cheese is made with the same ingredients as your everyday cheddar. We use milk, starter culture (to help convert milk to cheese) and salt. The clever part is in the skills of our cheese makers.
On our cheese we guarantee 30 days shelf life on receipt (unless specified). This is typically between 45-60 days.
We can only guarantee 14 days life on Eatlean Bake and Eatlean Nibbles
Our ambient & friends products typically come with 2+ months life on them, again we guarantee a minimum of 30 days.
Protein is important in two ways:
1: Proteins are the building blocks of life. Every cell in the human body contains protein. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and create new ones…..especially muscle tissue.
2: High protein foods increase satiety – make you feel full up, and reduces the desire to eat more.
Cheese is a good source of protein, as the cheese making process takes the fat and the protein out of the milk to create the cheeses we all love.
But what our cheese makers do is use their skills to increase the level of protein and to reduce the level of fat – which makes a healthier cheese, which can help with weight loss as part of a calorie controlled diet plan
Eatlean Protein cheese is made with the same ingredients as your everyday cheddar. We use milk, starter culture (to help convert milk to cheese) and salt. The clever part is in the skills of our cheese makers.
The only ingredients in our Protein cheese are Milk, starter cultures and salt. When our cheese is ready, it is made up of (approx.)
37% Protein
3% Fat
2% salt
0.5% Carbohydrates
5% Minerals (calcium, Potassium, etc)
50% moisture / water
(Milk is the main ingredient to make all cheese and as you may know, milk is made up of over 90% moisture / water. So even though our cheese feels dry (that is the increased level of protein) there is still a lot of moisture / water in all cheeses.)
Remember – Protein cheese is 100% natural
We are very proud to be part of the Red Tractor Assurance scheme. Red Tractor is the largest and only food scheme that offers full traceability of products.
Our farms are located mainly within a 35 mile radius of our Dairy and the Red Tractor standards make sure that our farmers are competent to look after animals, understand their needs and that the animal’s health and welfare is regularly checked.
Red Tractor also makes sure that animals have a living space which is safe and comfortable and that all of them have unlimited access to fresh, clean drinking water and well-balanced diets.
Because we have reduced the amount of fat in the cheese, this reduces the softness and makes the cheese look and feel drier in texture. At the same time we are increasing the protein, and this adds to the firmness of the cheese.
We are constantly looking to improve the texture and functionality of the protein cheese, and this is why we have developed the ‘Shakers’ and the spreadable cheese …..So hopefully everyone can find a protein cheese which is right for their personalised diet plans.
Eatlean Red is made the same as the normal protein cheese, but has one added ingredient – annatto – which adds the deep red colour.
Annatto is a natural orange-red food colouring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree.
Yes! All our blocks, snack bars, grated and shakers are all lactose free. The only exceptions are the spreadable and the cheese bake.
Eatlean is suitable for vegetarians, but not for vegans.

Many people don’t know but Eatlean contains 80% less Cholesterol than Full Fat Cheddar Cheese. Fantastic for those that are trying to manage their intake.
We guarantee a minimum of 30 days life our cheeses but should you feel the need to freeze your cheese then yes you can. But our recommendation would be only to freeze grated protein cheese. Freezing cheese is safe, and does not affect the flavour – however, when thawed it can make the texture of protein cheese brittle and crumbly. So our recommendation is to grate your protein cheese before freezing …. But hopefully you will eat and enjoy it all before it reaches it’s ‘best before’ date.
Please don’t try to grate the spreadable protein cheese…..it could get messy!! 🙂
Unfortunately you cannot freeze the spreadable and cheese bake.
Eatlean does not any contain nuts, wheat or gluten.
Eatlean is produced on a designated nut free site, which also does not handle wheat or gluten.
There is 2% of potato starch in our grated protein cheese. This prevents the grated cheese from clumping together.
