Re: Re: Cheese? Over 60 days = Legal???

[Guest guest]

Do I have the document for you! Cheese need to be aged a minimum of 30 days. I just researched this with boarshead. Sorry for the format because it is in the rough but you will get the idea. Here is the list of cheeses listed in BTVC:

Freely

Brick

Cheddar (Mild & Medium) - Sharp is Occasional

Colby

Gruyere

Havarti

Swiss

Uncreamed Cottage Cheese (Dry Curd)

Occasionally

Asiago

Blue

Brie

Camembert

Edam

Gorgonzola

Gouda

Limburger

Monterey (Jack)

Muenster

Parmesan (If already grated, check to ensure that there are no added milk solids)

Port du Salut

Roquefort

Romano

Stilton

Here is what Boarshead said to me regarding aging and carbs per serving(a good indication of lactose):

,

I was able to get precise information on the following cheeses:

Vermont Cheddar – aged 3 months – 0 carbs per 1 oz serving

Canadian Cheddar – aged over 3 years – 0 carbs per 1 oz serving

Gold Label Imported Swiss – aged over 100 days – less than 1g of carbs per 1 oz serving

Mild & Creamy Slicing Asiago - aged over 60 days – 1g of carbs per 1 oz serving

Creamy Blue Cheese Crumbled – aged over 60 days – 0 carbs per ¼ cup (28g)

Parmigiano Reggiano (pre cut) – aged 24 months – 0 carbs per 1 oz serving

Imported Premium Grated Parmesan – aged for 10 months or more – 1g of carbs per 1 TBSP

Grana Padano – (pre cut) – aged 16 months – 0g per 1 oz serving

I do not have the exact age of the following cheeses. It is not published since it is considered proprietary information. I have noted the carbohydrate information on some.

Black Wax Cheddar (yellow) – less than 1g of carbs per 1 oz serving

Red Wax Cheddar (white) – less than 1g of carbs per 1 oz serving

Imported Italian Pecorino Romano – 1g of carbs per 1 TBSP

Master Cheesemaker’s Selections Gruyere – 0 carbs per 1 oz serving

All the others that we make, Cream Havarti, Imported Brie, Edam, Gouda, Low Sodium Muenster, All Natural Muenster and Monterey Jack are considered young cheeses.

We do not make:

Brick

Uncreamed Cottage Cheese

Camenbert

Limburger

Port du Salt

Roquefort

Stilton

I think the list of cheeses is available on line and in BTVS. Some kinds are not legal.PJ>> > I understand that cheddar and swiss may be used freely but are all > > cheeses that have been aged for over 60 days lactose free?
