Meaning of the fat content in 40+ cheese

Many people are aware that 40+ cheeses are lower in fat than, say, a 48+ cheese or a 50+ cheese. However, people often make the mistake of thinking that in the case of a 40+ cheese, the cheese consists of 40% fat, but this is absolutely not the case.

In fact, a cheese consists of water and solid nutrients, generally the distribution is 40% water and 60% solid nutrients. The fat content ‘40+’ refers only to the solids. So it is not the case that a 100-gram piece of cheese contains 40 grams of fat. The fat content in grams is then around 24 grams (40% of 60 grams).

The meaning of the plus sign

The plus sign indicates the difference in fat content in a young and an old cheese. Because an old cheese has matured longer, it contains less moisture and more solids. So this also means that there is proportionally more fat in old cheese than in young cheese.
