Does anyone know why there are carbs in milk, but not in cheese or butter?

Hi Lucy
It's because milk has lactose which is a sugar = carbohydrate.
Cheese would still have a small amount of carbs... but a lot less than milk because they are higher in protein and fat content. Butter is probably just mainly fat, so probably no carbs.

This got me thinking and googling ... Found this http://www.smartsgloucestercheese.com/making.html
Is it the whey that has the carbs in? Just wondered if anyone knew as this is what they remove when they make cheese.

THat could be it Denise. The whey is what they give pigs to fatten them up.

Yes it would remain in the liquid, any lactose left would be finished off by the bacteria.
