Best Answer

Non-iodized flake salt, also sometimes called "cheese salt". Salt in cheese is used both to give flavor and to preserve. Iodized salt has iodine in it which hinders some of the bacteria you want in the cheese. You can use kosher salt or any natural, non-iodized salt that is in a flaked form.

It depends on the kind of cheese. Processed cheese such as sliced cheese, that packaged melting cheese, and the parmesian cheese you get in a green shake can, those contain TONS of salt, like all processed foods. Generally, cheeses native to warm climates tend to have more salt in them because its used as a preservative, and hard cheeses generally have more salt in them than soft cheeses. Cheddar cheese has more salt than swiss, for example.
