Is Smoked Gouda Cheese Lactose-Free?

Smoked Gouda contains lactose, as it is naturally present in milk. 

However, the aging process helps to break down lactose, making aged cheeses like smoked Gouda more tolerable for those with lactose intolerance. While lactose-sensitive individuals may be able to enjoy smoked Gouda cheese in small portions without experiencing symptoms, it's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to determine your level of lactose intolerance and whether smoked Gouda cheese is suitable for you.
