About Laughing cow cheese wedge

Laughing Cow cheese wedges are individually portioned soft cheese products originally from France, popular within global cuisines for their creamy texture and mildly tangy flavor. These wedges are made primarily from milk, cheese cultures, and cream, and are often enriched with added calcium. A single wedge (approximately 21g) typically provides around 50 calories, 2 to 3 grams of protein, and 4 grams of fat, including saturated fat. They are also a source of calcium, offering about 10%-15% of the recommended daily value per serving. Due to their convenient packaging, they are a favorite for snacks, sandwiches, and as part of balanced meals.
