Irrespective of its type, this cheese is made with pasteurized milk and is rich in nutrients like calcium, proteins and vitamins, making it a good addition to your pregnancy diet. It also has lower lactose levels as compared to other cheeses. Hence, having this cheese can also help prevent tooth decay during pregnancy.
