The only thing I did not recognize was Annatto, which some Googling indicates: “ is the ingredient used to dye cheese bright yellow, orange or bright red. Parmesan: Parmesan Cheese made from non GMO pasteurized cow milk, enzymes, and salt. Jarlsberg: Pasteurized part-skim milk, cultures, salt, rennet Here is what I found for ingredients for each.Ĭheddar: Pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes and annatto coloring.

My hunch was that there was something unnatural involved, so I checked the website again. Typically, people with lactose sensitivity can still eat aged cheese, like Parmesan, Swiss, and aged Cheddar.”Ĭontinuing my detective work, I wondered what made these folios functional as a replacement for gluten filled wraps – how could they be more rigid than a slice of cheese yet sturdy enough to hold fillings. The wraps are made with aged cheese during the cheese making process, enzymes naturally convert the lactose to lactic acid over time. So here is what the Folios website has to say about how this is possible. (In case you are thinking…duh, why would you wonder, I have a BA not a BS).

It tasted pretty good, not how I would expect lactose free to be. Before I became emotionally invested in the outcome I decided to see how I liked the cheese by tasting it as is immediately out of the package. Lactose Free cheese (?), I pondered (very quickly) how that was possible. The products have the magic marketing words of Gluten Free and Lactose Free but typically for me, free in this context does not demand my attention. They were kind enough to send one each of their three varieties of Folios. New Jersey based Lotito Foods is a specialty foods manufacturer and importer of Italian foods. In my hierarchy of pitch responses, the word FREE might get my attention, but the word CHEESE will demand my attention. In the case of Folios Cheese Wraps such was not the case – their pitch was strong and the product seemed appealing.

While I will write for food, I would prefer more than one bite per byte.

Often the sample is barely enough to get a true sense of the product or the offer itself is unappealing. Sometimes these pitches offer free samples. Intrigued? Here are the 13 best picks for the tastiest low-carb and keto-friendly wraps and tortillas, all available on Amazon.As a food writer, blogger, mystery shopper, social media person and more, I get a multitude of press releases to try new food items.

Look for whole grains, she says, as they're better sources of fiber and other good-for-you nutrients. But don't just pay attention to the number of carbs, adds Taub-Dix. So if you want to eat fewer carbs than a piece or two of bread, aim for a low-carb wrap that has less than 15 grams. "As a frame of reference, an average slice of bread has about 15 grams of carbs," says Taub-Dix. But if you're doing keto, you should compare the low-carb wrap to your go-to bread's nutritional info, says Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, author of Read It Before You Eat It: Taking You from Label to Table. But how many carbs should you be looking for in a low-carb keto wrap? Technically, you don't need to count carbs to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Since typical wraps are already thinner by design and don’t require the same leavening ingredients as bread, lots of low-carb wraps can be made from coconut, cauliflower, tomato, almonds, and more, and still hold together and taste delicious. Yep, keto-friendly, low-carb wraps and tortillas that actually taste good are just an *add to cart* away. (Major bummer.) But no stress! Finding yummy low-carb wraps is totally possible. If you’re on the keto diet, you know that one of the biggest gripes is that you have to eliminate delicious sources of carbs like, well, wraps.
