Our take on the Babybel Semisoft Cheese Original 2.1 oz

Babybel Original is a mild, semisoft cheese wrapped in a peel-off red wax rind, sold as a small net of individually portioned rounds. The wax keeps each piece sealed and portable, so it works as a lunchbox or on-the-go snack without refrigeration for short trips. It is milder and creamier than aged hard cheeses like cheddar or Parmesan, and less salty than many processed cheese snacks. Reviewers tend to like the portion control and the clean ingredient list, which has no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives and no artificial growth hormones.
