DCCC in Bay Area

[Guest guest]

I shop at the whole foods in Cupertino and they sell the Friendship Farmer's cheese which is supposed to be the equivalent to DCCC. I know Mollie Stones in Greenbrae also sells Friendships farmers cheese. I think there is a specialty cheese store called the Cheeseboard or something similar in Berkeley and you could try them if you can't find the farmer's cheese at Whole Foods or Mollie Stones.

You should have no problem finding it,

if Yahoo breaks the larger URL up, directs you to a folder which includes

a PDF file of the label of the Friendship Dairies Farmer Cheese, which is

DCCC.

You can print it out and show it to the cheese man at your local Whole

Foods. (Saves him having to look at those glittering, pasta-crazed eyes,

you know.)

I was going to suggest that if Whole Foods proved uncooperative, you

could try Fresh Market, but they are a southeast and midwest chain. My

local Whole Foods has proved... uhm, difficult, at best on the subject,

but the Fresh Market (a mere 50 miles away) will order whole cases of it

for me if I know I'm going to be in their area on the weekend. I call

them on Monday, order the case (of 12 pounds), and pick it up on

Saturday. It freezes really well.

BTW, do remember that SCD is not necessarily a LOW carbohydrate diet, but

a SPECIFIC carbohydrate diet. As you add foods, you can have plenty of

carbohydrates in the form of vegetables, fruits, and homemade yogurt.

Some of us do find it easier to reduce the total carbs to a balance which

works for our system -- but we're not doing Atkins!
