Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 I have found two brands of farmers cheese here but I wanted to make sure they sounded okay. One is a round ball, rather the consistency/firmness of mozzarella cheese and is made by Wilshire Dairies. The other one is packed in a plastic carton and has liquid surrounding it. The liquid is clear yellowish liquid and the cheese is by Lifeways. I haven't bought this one yet because of the liquid on it, so I'm not sure of it's consistency. Do either of these sound okay?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Janelle, Neither of the two cheeses you listed are legal. The Lifeway is closer to what your DCCC is going to look like. When we first started SCD, I accidentally was using Lifeways Farmer's Cheese and it hindered healing. I believe it contains too much lactose. The basic consistency of it is what you are looking for. What state/city are you in? Perhaps someone around you has already found some.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 We are in the Lansing Michigan area. The dairy store at Michigan State University also sells cheese curds - they are dry, can actually " squeak " against your teeth when you chew them, are fairly salty and delicious but I had always assumed they were fairly freshly made and I thought the cheese would need to age some to eliminate the lactose. Would these cheese curds be what I'm looking for? Janelle > > > > I have found two brands of farmers cheese here but I wanted to make > > sure they sounded okay.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 I forgot to mention: they are small irregular shaped balls of cheese (lots & lots of balls make a 1/2 lb bag) and are very dry. They come in a plastic bag and are yellowish in color. Much larger curds than in small curd cottage cheese, but easily small enough to fit in your mouth in one bite. They are just called " cheese curds. " > > We are in the Lansing Michigan area.
