All milk has lactose. It is the sugar in milk. During cheese making, the fermentation bacteria that sour the milk are converting the lactose to lactic acid. Despite this fermentation some lactose almost always remains in the cheese. Lactose intolerance varies from person to person. Some cheeses which are dry enough and have very little lactose remaining can be handled by those with milder lactose intolerance.
