OKA Light
Same OKA taste, with a third less fat. The 190 g wheel is mild and semi-soft. A cut-in-store wedge is the other format.
Fromagerie Oka in Quebec still ripens the brand. Agropur Cooperative has held the method since 1981. On 15 July 2026 the co-op agreed to sell the plant to Lactalis, and that sale is not closed. The milk mark still reads fully Canadian.
Fat content is 20 percent, moisture 50 percent. A 30 g cube has 90 calories and 9 g of protein. Annatto colours it. Cream is absent.
Product Highlights
- •Fat on the spec sheet is 20 percent
