The following cheese contains egg (yes, egg – I’ll explain in more detail)
Manchego often contains lysozyme which is a natural anti bacterial agent found in the white part (albumen) of hen’s eggs. It is used in the production of some cheeses to prevent the spread of micro-organisms and bacteria that are sometimes found in grain feed. These bacteria can have a negative effect on the quality and taste of cheese.
From a consumer’s point of view, lysozyme is completely harmless unless consumers are allergic to hen’s egg whites, in which case they may be allergic to lysozyme. Some cheese companies are working hard to make sure lysozyme is included in the list of ingredients. If you have this allergy, please do not purchase our Manchego.
If you are really really interested, a detailed technical and academic description of the use of lyszyme can be found here.
