Cholesterol Cholestrol

Which cheeses are lower in cholesterol and/or fat?

My fiance and I love fine cheeses (both for general tastings and for cooking). I was planning on baking some portabello caps stuffed with toasted walnuts, oyster mushrooms, spinach and brie tonight (maybe some tomato as well) but brie is a little higher in cholestrol than I would like. Can anyone tell me which cheeses have (relatively) less cholesterol and/or fat (no "low-fat velveeta" please)?

  1. Mozarella and feta comes to mind. Gouda also.
  2. I think like the other poster said mozzerella is the lowest when it comes to melted type cheese. Pecorino Ramano and Parmigiano Reggino for grated.
  3. The harder the cheese, the lower the fat content for regular varieties. I believe goat cheese has less cholesterol than cow. Check this site for more info http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/lf_hl_low_cholesterol .
