Applegate Farms, has introduced Yogurt Cheese with probiotics. The product is a pre-sliced cheese that contains probiotics, beneficial microorganisms in the form of live active cultures.

Applegate Farms new yogurt cheese is made from yogurt that is certified with “live and active cultures,” having at least 100 million bacteria per gram at the time of manufacture. There are three main probiotic strains found in Applegate Farms Yogurt Cheese: Lactobacillus acidophilus; Bifidobacterium bifidus and Lactobacillus casei. Because these active cultures are not heated after fermentation, they retain their integrity throughout the cheese-making process.

Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms in the form of live active cultures. They are friendly bacteria that live in the digestive system and are believed to have a number of health benefits while making it difficult for harmful pathogens to survive.
