Re: appenzeller cheese

[Guest guest]

Hi, when looking at cheeses at the store how can you always tell if it doesn't say how long it's aged? If it doesn't say, don't get it?

Thanks,

Debbie

Er, Jodi... this link takes me to an article about some guy having

sex with an umbrella. Which, <grin> I am quite sure is VERY off

topic for this list.

But if it is a typical cheese, lookit up on the legal list. For artisanal cheeses, you can probably askthe store how old it is. Or ask for the manufacturer name.

Hi Debbie,

Been talking to various cheese stands and the cheese people told me

one of the ways to tell how aged the cheese is by how hard/dry looking

it is. But there are so many types. How to know which type is legal?

I found this new place (new to me) that has all these cheeses and other potentially SCD foods called Phonecia's in Houston. The prices are great with lots of cheese, spices, etc. Problem is most of it was in a different language or had the store label on it. I got some grated parmesan very cheap with nothing illegal listed. It had the store label on it so I thought it was ok. So next time, just ask the store what type and if it's legal? They had Lifeway Farmer's Cheese. I know someone has mentioned it before but is that legal?

Thanks,

Debbie
