Cottage Cheese and Roquefort Cheese

[luv2spin]

I was just wondering if any of the valuable members of the community would know the amount of Carbs in;

a- Cottage Cheese
b- Roquefort Cheese

What I know is, cheese in general, has almost insignificant amount of carbs or very little carbs and, I am curious to know as because I remember of reading a kind of scientific paper saying that a kind of cheese which is sold in the market places of some developing countries which resembles Cottage Cheese and sold relatively economically is made of the watery part of milk produced when raw milk sours and coagulates and all the carbs of the cheese goes in that liquid remaining after milk has been strained in the process of making cheese and out of this cottage cheese or similar type of cheeses are being made. I believe it is called whey or whey powder. And, the paper says that's why these kind of cheese are high in Carbs.

If Cottage Cheese is made with similar methodology, is it still quite high in Carbs?

Also, Roquefort Cheese, for the reasons I do not know is considerably high in Carbs!

I am not quite sure if this all is correct and this is what I need to find out from you people.

Sorry about my English, it is just my school English and not my mother tongue and I do not reside in an English speaking country.

All kinds of replies in relevance to the question is much appreciated and thank you to all who read and will be very happy if any of you would kindly furnish me with the right answers.

Thank you in advance for the replies.

Cottage cheese is relatively high in carbs about 4% or 4g per 100g
Whereas Roquefort is more like 0.5g per 100g.
Regular hard cheese is about 0.1 or 0.2g per 100g.
I have learnt that everything has to be checked luckily here in the UK most food labels are quite good.

@luv2spin I'd like to compliment you on your English - I see you say that English isn't your mother tongue but it really is excellent.

Both kinds of cheese are under 5g of carbs per 100g but there are lots of other types of cheese that have less carbs in them. My favourite at the moment is Stilton which has less than 0.5g of carbs per 100g.

Hi, this table is from my food database and shows the macronutrients in various cheeses. The softer cheeses tend to contain more fat and the harder cheeses more protein, but they are all very similar and none of them have many carbs.
The K/KA Ratio, also called the ketogenic ratio shows how likely the food is to induce ketosis, thus Boursin is very ketogenic and Parmesan much less so.
Hope this helps

No, I have lots of problems with commercial databases where there is lots of disagreement and you can't be sure about the basis of their figures. I get my numbers from food packaging, which I then check to see if their numbers add up. Most of the UK supermarket and product packaging is spot on.
