Best Answer

All milk has lactose. It is the sugar in milk. During cheese making, the fermentation bacteria that sour the milk are converting the lactose to lactic acid. Despite this fermentation some lactose almost always remains in the cheese. Lactose intolerance varies from person to person. Some cheeses which are dry enough and have very little lactose remaining can be handled by those with milder lactose intolerance.

Does goat cheese have lactose in it?

Actually, not all cheese has lactose. Typically hard aged cheeses, such as cheddar, contain little to no lactose. All Cabot cheeses contain zero (0) grams of lactose. Eating any aged cheese should not affect those with lactose intolerance, regardless of how much is eaten, because lactose - the major carbohydrate of cheese - totally disappears within 3 to 4 weeks after the cheese is made. (first answer: yes yes yes)

Kraft says there is o lactose in their Mozzarella cheeseIs this true of all Mozzarella Cheese?

They say it has zero GRAMS of lactose (At least on the cheddar sitting in my room). Aged cheese doesn't have much lactose in it, but pretty much all cheese has some. In fact, even Lactaid Ice Cream which claims to have no lactose at all has some in it. So while any aged cheese will have little enough lactose that even many lactose intolerant individuals will be fine as long as they don't overindulge, but I imagine the amount in the cheese is low enough so that they can claim it doesn't have any.
