Hard cheese

Hard cheeses are characterised by a low moisture content (around 30%), a dense and firm texture and a crumbly structure. The maturation process for these cheeses usually lasts several months, which gives them a pronounced flavour and aroma. As a result of maturation, hard cheeses have a low lactose and high protein content.
