Re: seeking quality grass-fed raw parmesan cheese

Tamara,

You might try contacting Homestead Heritage at:

I know that they make and sell cheese products from grass-fed cows, but I

don't know if they ship it. The Web site doesn't mention their milk

products.

Subject: seeking quality grass-fed raw parmesan cheese

Hi all,

My 2-yr-old DD LOVES parmesan cheese; it's the only cheese she will eat. But

the best I can find is Organic Valley organic parmesan. I'm not convinced

this has the optimal nutrition she needs (she has cavities so I'm focused on

maximizing her nutrition, especially since she does not have a very big

appetite).

Since all of my local sources for grass-fed do not carry this or any other

kind of aged hard cheese, I thought perhaps mail-order. But I can't even

seem to find anything online.

Have any of you found a good source that you trust? If so, please do share!

Hi Tamara,

See if you can locate some Parmigiano Reggiano. It's considered to be one of,

if not THE best Parmesan cheeses made. You should be able to find it at Whole

Foods.

According to the link page below:

" Parmigiano-Reggiano is made from raw cow's milk. "

" Traditionally, cows have to be fed only on grass or hay, producing grass fed

milk. "

Thanks for the info; I will keep this as a last resort. Even though it was made

with grass-fed milk TRADITIONALLY, I doubt that is so in our modern times. At

least I don't trust it anywhere near as much as I would trust my local raw milk

farmer.

I do appreciate the extra knowledge about Parmigiano Reggiano though! I did not

know why it was considered so " supreme. "
