The Laughing Cow Cheeses

The Laughing Cow must be downright hysterical by now. According to their website The Laughing Cow cheeses are eaten in over 90 countries around the world and every 20 seconds 2500 portions are consumed. It's no wonder as they have such a wide variety of cheeses and spreads that are easy to eat, delicious, and nutritious.

My personal favorites are The Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges. They are available in four flavors: Original Creamy Swiss, Light Swiss, Light French Onion, and Light Garlic and Herb. The Light varieties only have 35 calories, 2 grams of fat, and 2.5 grams of protein. The Original is still only 50 calories, 4 grams of fat, and 2 grams of protein. They are all velvety and satisfying spread on crackers, crostini, sandwiches, English muffins and bagels, and either eaten alone or with fruit. The packages feature a red string that pulls away and neatly opens the circular box. They also offer Light Gourmet Cheese Bites in Creamy Swiss flavor. Five bites have the same calories and fat as the wedges. They're easy and delicious little nibbles.

The Mini Babybels are great snacks alone or paired with fruit, pretzels, or nuts. The available flavors are: Original, Bonbel, Gouda, Mild Cheddar, and Light. The Original and the Bonbel, have 70 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 5 grams of protein. The Mild Cheddar has the same a mount of calories and protein but only 5 grams of fat. The Gouda has 80 calories, 6 grams of fat and 5 grams of protein. They are packaged in small waxy red cheese wrappers that feature an easy-open tag.

A new product, The Laughing Cow Gourmet Cheese and Baguettes, is presently available in a few select areas. The package contains the Creamy Swiss Cheese in a spread with flavored bread sticks for dipping. The whole package is 75 calories, 5 carbohydrates, 4.5 grams of fat, and 3 grams of protein.

The Laughing Cow is owned by Bel Brands USA which is a subsidiary of Fromageries Bel, S.A., headquartered in Paris, France. The Laughing Cow was the first cheese brand registered in the French National Patent Office. The company produces a wide variety of cheese and cheese spreads.

The Laughing Cow cheese products are a delicious and healthy addition to any diet, in moderation. You'll love them for their creamy texture, varieties of flavor, and their convenience for quick and easy snacking. Even if they don't make you laugh, they'll definitely put a smile on your face.
