The Probiotic Cheese Co., North Hampton, N.H., released a healthy probiotic cheddar cheese snack that contains live cultures added after pasteurization.
"Within my medical specialty of pulmonary medicine, research is showing the benefits of Farmstead milk and cheese to prevent the development of asthma and allergies. I wanted to develop a probiotic cheese made from pasteurized milk that could maintain healthy digestion and support a strong immune system without the concerns and regulations of raw milk," says Dr. Mark Windt, president and allergist, immunologist and pulmonary physician.
