    You’re in luck! A large proportion of cheeses are low in lactose. That’s why lactose intolerant people can eat pizza.

      That depends on the cheese used on the topping. If it’s mozzarella I’m headed for a miserable time. Anything aged is OK: cheddar, swiss, aged gouda.

      My personal experience is cooks love to use butter in everything, so I’m always wary.

      Very true. The harder cheeses have very little lactose, and the softer cheese have more. When they make cheese, the curds separate from the whey. The whey is liquid, and has most of the lactose.
