Yes, you can google ‘zero carb cheese’ and if you’re looking for something new and exciting do so. In addition, however, I thought a Topic devoted to zero carb cheeses would be a worthwhile addition to the forum food section. So, here it is. To get it started I’ve posted three entries here to give you an idea of the sort of info I think is worthwhile including. I would rather see links to offsite descriptions and/or reviews than long winded explanations here. So please link!
Note: for all who wish to post here, please post only zero carb cheeses. If it seems worthwhile, we can always create other topics for low carb and/or very low carb cheeses. Please post a link to the USDA database entry for the specific cheese for reference if there is one. If there is no entry for the specific cheese in the USDA database, please link to another government database. If you can not find any government database use either a third party or the producer’s label information, but please indicate which.
Grana Padano
Many people think that the massive wheels of Grana Padano, the semi-aged hard Italian cheese, are maybe a cheaper knock-off of better known Parmigiana-Reggiano, says Lou DiPalo, part of the fourth generation to run DiPalo’s Fine Foods in Little Italy. In fact, he says, Grana is a great cheese in its own right, and well-known in Italy. Grano Padano is a subtler and less nutty and salty than Parmigiano, says DiPalo, with a more delicate flavor that he prefers on risotto or when you don’t want to overpower a dish.

Boursin
For anyone who does not know about Boursin cheeses, these are a very mild soft cheese. Very creamy, like a soft flavoured cream cheese with a good fat/protein ratio of 4:1. Most varieties contain 1-2 grams of carbs per 30 grams (2 tbsp). However, Bouquet of Basil & Chive contains ZERO carbs, so you can eat the whole box (150 grams).
Note: Boursin is basically a combination of cream cheese and butter. So theoretically you can make your own with whatever mix of herbs and/or spices you want. If you find a zero carb cream cheese anywhere in the world - please post it here!
Note: Boursin company nutrition data is included in the above link.
