The ingredients contain potato starch so that’s the reason. So does the cathedral city, just less I would guess, which might lead to the cost difference here as you are getting less cheese probably (plus the branding mark up)Morrisons sells Greenside Grated Mix Cheese, 500g for £2.50. I have found to my cost this has 4.1g of carbs per 100g. Compare Cathedral City grated cheese, only 1.6g per 100g. But £2.00 for 180g. It seems the cheaper cheese should be avoided.

My cholesterol levels came down when I ate less carbs and higher fat and it has stayed about the same for the last 10 years or so .I eat lots of cheese, toasted for breakfast every day cheese and leek omelette once a week, cheese crisp s with a burger ,a chunk of cheese with nuts for a snack .but that is just my story

I agree with you on this, and often just cut off a chunk to eat with my fingers and a few nuts to accompany itBut did it affect your blood sugars?
With the amount of fat in cheese to slow down carb absorption, I would not be surprised if 4 or 5% of carbs would have much impact.
I always buy a block of cheese (as strong as possible) and grate it myself. It seems to be cheaper, I can chose how fine I want the grating, can use it for other things that don't need gratings and now I know I am paying for cheese rather than potato starch.

Just out of interest I had a look at the generic home brand shredded cheese that I get, it has less than 1% carbs per 100 grams in it.
So the anti caking agent "cellulose" in it is very near zero carbs.

It lowered mine when I abandoned low fat products.Just an aside on this thread: I love cheese, but does anyone here have any idea of how cheese contributes to cholesterol levels?
We buy strong cheddar cheese for eating as is, the shredded stuff if for cooking with, mostly in omelettes.
Tasty, eh?
Not one for the sharp cheese then.
We have a brand of tasty cheese named Coon after it's manufacture, it has been renamed Cheer for good reasons probably because that was "tasteless"."Tasty" seems an odd name for a type of cheese. Is there another variety called "Tasteless'?
