    Get ready for a healthy low-carb lifestyle with Folios Cheese Wraps!

    Cheese, and more cheese! I hear my husband says that all the time. Well, who doesn’t like cheese? Even though I grew up in China, cheese is not served in our daily life, but I love eating cheese, so does my mom! After my husband Ryan started his Keto journey, I started to look around for some delicious burger bun, tortilla wrap, taco shell alternatives. You can enjoy a taco without a shell, right? How about a cheese taco shell, that will be a perfect idea for Keto cheese lovers.

    Folios Cheese Wraps have elevated the tortilla wrap game with a grain-free wrap made from 100% cheese. Whether you are a cheese connoisseur or just looking for a tortilla or bread alternative, this is it! Folios Cheese Wraps® Roll Ups are lightly baked thin sheets of cheese that can be eaten straight out of the package, or rolled into your favorite sandwich. That’s not all, you can use Folios Cheese Wraps® Roll Ups  as an alternative pizza “cheese” crust, taco “cheese” shell, crunch “cheese” crisps, and much more!

    Folios was founded in 2016 when Chris Lotito began utilizing his culinary experience as a third generation Italian Cheese Maker to create fun & innovative ways to enjoy his favorite food: cheese. This culinary journey was sparked when a customer asked him if he could figure out how to ship Parmesan crisps to minimize breaking and crumbling of the product. Because packing and shipping an item so delicate without breaking seemed to be challenging, Chris wanted to find a solution and his experiments led to the invention of Folios Cheese Wraps. Folios is a recipe-ready cheese wrap that can be eaten straight out of the package or easily cooked and molded into cheese bowls, taco shells, chips, crisps, wraps and other high-carb alternatives.

    Made with 100% all-natural lightly baked sheets of cheese, Folios® are lactose and gluten-free, grain free, and have only 1g of carbs ideal for a low-carb diet. No matter what sweet or savory recipe you crave, Folios Cheese Wrap® have you covered. These flavorful, keto-certified wraps can be stuffed, rolled, folded, melted, crisped, and baked into most anything you could ever imagine ­– Chips, tacos, burritos, nachos, pizza, wraps; the list goes on and on…

    Just 1 minute in the microwave, now you can wrap anything that you want in the wrap. We have done blackened Mahi Mahi fish, and fried chicken so far, they all tasted amazing. For lunch, I just put more shredded cheese inside the wrap, my husband loved it. If you are not on keto diet, like me, I just eat it with a sourdough bread slice with some avocado, it is very satisfying.

    My husband loves Jarlsberg, and Folios has Jarlsberg cheese wraps! A little bit heavier taste, but it is just as good as he wants it. Folios has re-invented the wrap game so those who follow any dietary lifestyle can enjoy the favorite foods with Folios Cheese Wraps™, the first ever and #1 cheese wrap on the market!

    Folios™ are 100% all natural lightly baked sheets of cheese that are made from Parmesan, Cheddar or Jarlsberg® cheese and are recipe-ready to crisp, wrap, roll or melt. Ideal as a keto-friendly, low-carb alternative for tortillas or bread, Folios is the better-for-you alternative you never knew you needed. They are committed to using the highest quality, nutritious ingredients that are free of additives, sugars and preservatives and with only 1g of carbs per serving! Their hope is that you will love Folios and use the wraps in the most deliciously creative ways to enjoy your favorite recipes: what will you create?
