From Gouda to best
We mostly looked at lower-fat cheeses (the exception: full-fat
Parmesans and Romanos, which are lower-fat if you use just a
tablespoon). Best Bites ([check][check]) have no more than 3 grams
of saturated fat and 250 milligrams of sodium per ounce (and are
based on numbers, not taste). Cheeses are ranked from least to most
sat fat, then sodium, then calories. Full-fat cheeses (in italics)
are for comparison.
