Farmers Cheese 1 lb
Heritage:
Farmers cheese originated on farms throughout the world as a way to
use milk left after skimming the cream for butter. Two main styles
evolved – a fresh cheese similar to Cottage Cheese and a semi-soft
version cured for a short time. Wisconsin cheesemakers produce the
latter variety, firm enough for cubing or shredding. No standards of
identity exist for Farmers cheese, which means cheeses can vary
greatly from one cheesemaker to another.
Description:
Style (soft-fresh to semi-soft) varies worldwide. Wisconsin Farmers
cheese is similar to Havarti, but typically lower in fat. Buttery,
slightly acidic flavor. Smooth, supple texture. Shred in potato
dishes and casseroles; slice for sandwiches; cube for snacks.
