Finlandia Cheese Delicious Lacey Swiss Review



If there is one thing I love, its cheese. Whether its Swiss, American or Mozzarella, I can eat cheese all day long.  But as good as cheese tastes, too much of it may not be that good for you. Unless you switch to a healthier option like Finlandia Lacy Swiss Cheese. Their cheese is unique because it is an all natural, reduced fat cheese, with no added hormones. It is naturally lactose free. In addition, Lacey Swiss also has 25% less fat than regular Swiss and is a great source of calcium.

We recently got to try the Lacey Swiss for ourselves and it certainly wasn't a disappointment.  The lower fat doesn't take anything away from the great taste. We tried it both cold with ham sandwiches and melted warm on burgers and loved it. Even my chef husband had to admit that it was loaded with flavor and almost melts in your mouth. Its a fun and tasty snack on its own or you can try some of these amazing, healthy recipes.

Whole wheat bread
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Finlandia Lacey Swiss
Bean sprouts (optional)

Directions:
On whole wheat bread, place green leafy lettuce and ripe tomatoes
Then drape thinly sliced Finlandia Lacey Swiss
