Is it a hard cheese (like Brick or Monterey Jack) or is it a dry curd

cheese (like regular cottage cheese without all the moisture)?

We went to a local health food store to search for the dccc yesterday. I

didn't go in, but my husband asked if they carried dccc. The man said that

they used to, but it didn't sell very well. He said they do have curds.

I'm wondering if this is the same thing. My husband said that the package

said that it had enzymes in it, too. I'm wondering if this is dccc. Since

I've never seen it before, I just don't know what I'm looking for. Maybe

some brands that are sold in the US would be helpful, too.

I found the Friendship Farmers Cheese at Central Market, which was sort of

white and " squishy " . They also have something else called swedish farmers

cheese which did not resemble the friendship kind, it was more hard/solid

like cheddar.

The hard farmers cheese is not legal.

Thanks to all who answered my question (and all my other ones ).

The cheese I bought was the wrong kind. I've given up on finding it

and am going to use dripped yogurt.

Meleah,

I have been able to find Friendship Dairy Farmer Cheese (UPC Code

071481011601) at both Whole Foods and a similar market called Fresh Market.

The Fresh Market people are very friendly, and have ordered it by the case

for me. It freezes really well, so I buy a whole case, toss it in the

freezer, and have it available as needed. Fresh Market orders several times

a week so I can call on Monday, and then go pick up the order on Saturday.

DCCC can also be ordered from http://www.westbycreamery.com/index2.html

The price of the cheese isn't bad at all. The price of the next day

shipping and the cooler to put it in kicks the price per pound up

significantly. I've heard, though, that you can ship the cooler back to

them for re-use.

Thanks. We were in Dallas, and there was a Whole Foods and a Fresh Market

there. There's also a Central Market which I know that someone found it at.

What a bummer. I had a cooler with me and everything. I could've brought

home a boat load. Oh well. We have a local health food store in Charlotte

that i just found out about. It's about 45 minutes away, but it's

apparently the size of a regular major grocery store. I'll call to see if

they carry it. How long would it stay good in the refrigorator? Can it be

frozen, and would this affect its use when thawed?

Duh. Disregard the freezing question. I don't know where my brain was when

I asked that one.

Meleah,

Yeah, I felt the same way back in 04 when I realized I could have brought a

suitcase home with me from my trip to Milwaukee.

I would check the expiration date on it when you buy it and see how long

it's supposed to stay good. I can't tell you how long it WILL last in the

refrigerator because to be honest, things made with it rarely last more

than three days around here. Well, except for when I made several lasagnas

and froze them. Then it lasted longer!

Of course, if you can't find DCCC, you can always use well-dripped yogurt

cheese.

I'm grateful for having found it because it's one less thing I have to

actually make.
