What are Cheeshapes made of?

100% cheese, nothing else.

How do you make the shapes?

We use milk from grass-fed cows and turn it into cheese. We then heat the cheese and mould them into seriously fun shapes – entertaining and delicious.

How did you select the random shapes?

All our shapes have been co-created and designed with kids and mums to ensure we have the best mixture of surprising and fun shapes in each pack.

Are Cheeshapes suitable for the lunchbox?

Each Cheeshapes pack has 4 Snack Packs inside, making them great for school lunches, trips to the park or as handy snack in between meals.

As with all dairy products, they should be kept in an insulated lunchbox to keep them cool and tasty until lunch.

Why is calcium important?

Calcium helps keep bones and teeth healthy and strong. Children aged 4 to 10 years need between 450mg and 550mg of calcium per day and 11 to 18-year olds need almost twice as much. It is also needed by the body to regulate muscle contractions (including the heart) and to make sure blood clots.

How can I make sure my child is eating enough calcium?

Calcium rich foods such as, dairy food, green leafy vegetables (but not spinach), soya beans, nuts, bread made with fortified flour and fish where you eat the bones (such as sardines and pilchards)…and Cheeshapes!

It may not surprise parents that some children don’t like some of those foods. So, Cheeshapes can be a real help as a source of calcium as part of a balanced diet.

Plus, they are fun to eat and taste great!
