Which dried cheese flavour to choose: a guide to the whole range

In short. All the flavours are made from the same thing — natural cheese, with no frying. They differ in the type of cheese, and therefore in the intensity of flavour and the amount of protein: from delicate Mozzarella to bold Blue Royale. Below you'll find a table and short descriptions to help you choose right the first time.

The whole range in one table

The pure cheese flavours contain 1–4 g of carbohydrates per 100 g — which is why the range is keto-friendly.

If you're choosing for the first time

Gouda — the safest start. It's the flavour people buy most often and keep coming back to. A neutral classic that almost everyone likes and that kids happily accept.

Mozzarella — if you or your child don't like strong flavours. The most delicate flavour in the range.

Cheddar — if you like a flavour you can taste right away. Rich and distinctive.

If you're counting protein

Superfood — 60 g of protein per 100 g and, at the same time, the lowest calorie content in the range, 478 kcal. It's the best “protein to calories” ratio we have. A 28 g pack contains about 17 g of protein.

Next come Primaggio (53.4 g) and Sulguni (52 g). But note: Primaggio has the highest calorie content, 688 kcal, because it's an aged, high-fat cheese. If your goal is protein with moderate calories, Superfood or Sulguni is a better fit.

If you want something unusual

Blue Royale — French blue cheese in crispy form. The boldest and most “acquired taste” flavour in the range. It has less protein than the others (31.7 g), but the strongest character. It's the flavour people either adore or just don't get.

Smoked Emmental — with a nutty note; works well as an appetiser.

“Cheese + nut” mixes — a story of their own. The cheese and nut are dried together, so the nut isn't roasted: Gouda with hazelnut, Cheddar with almond, Mozzarella with cashew, Sulguni with peanut, Primaggio with walnut.

If you're buying for kids

Cosmic — the kids' line. A delicate flavour, and a 28 g pack contains about 13 g of protein, so it's not an “empty” snack but a snack with real value. The 14 g format is especially handy for school: one pack for one snack break, nothing left over until evening.

How flavour relates to the type of cheese

Crispy cheese has no “snEco flavour” of its own — it fully inherits the character of the cheese it's made from. So the logic of choosing is the same as at a cheese counter.

Young cheeses — Mozzarella, Gouda — have a delicate, creamy flavour. They're the safest bet if you're choosing for someone else and don't know their preferences.

Aged — Primaggio, Emmental — are richer and saltier. Their flavour is denser and comes through even in a salad or soup with lots of other ingredients.

Smoked — Sulguni — a category of their own. The smokiness here isn't a flavouring but the character of the cheese itself, and that's exactly what makes this flavour so recognisable.

Blue cheeses — Blue Royale. The boldest option, with a clear split between “love it” and “not for me”. If you like Dorblu or Gorgonzola, this is your flavour.

How many flavours to get at once

The most common mistake with a first order is getting one pack of each of the nine flavours. Then they blur together in your memory, and in the end it's hard to say what you actually liked.

It's more practical to get three or four flavours from different groups: one delicate, one aged, one smoked. Within a week you'll know where to go next — and your next order will be spot on.

That's exactly why the catalogue has ready-made sets: from three packs to get acquainted up to twenty, once you've picked your flavour and want to stock up.

Flavour and format are separate decisions

Another thing people mix up: choosing a flavour doesn't depend on choosing a format. Every flavour comes in a 14 g pack, a 28 g pack and a large bag — except for a few items that are only made in certain formats.

So first settle on a flavour with a small pack, and only then get the same flavour in 500 g. That way you don't risk ending up with half a kilo of something you didn't like.

Frequently asked questions

Are there any flavours without salt?
No, salt is part of the raw material — this is real cheese. The salt content is stated on every pack.

Which flavour keeps the longest?
They're all the same: 14 and 28 g packs — 18 months, the 500 g bag — 8 months. It doesn't depend on the flavour.

Can I get a set to try everything?
Yes, there are ready-made sets of different flavours — from three packs to twenty. It's cheaper than buying each flavour separately.
