Welcome to BC Dairy Association

We have a new name! But that’s all. We’re the same people, with the same mission, and the same passion for BC milk and innovative nutrition education programs.

OK, carry on...

We are now BC Dairy Association

Are low fat cheeses higher in calcium?

Cottage cheese (4% or less milk fat) and ricotta cheese (10% or less milk fat) are sources of calcium, providing about 5% and 11% respectively of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of calcium. Partially skimmed mozzarella is a good source of calcium (21% RDI). In contrast, most other semi-soft, firm and hard cheeses are an excellent source of calcium (25% or more of RDI).
