It's a little hard to describe, but it's cheddary yet sweet & a little crystalized (which may sound odd, but seriously, its reeeally good.)

It just depends on my mood, etc.<br /><br />Since cheese is so rich it's not something you can really eat a lot of, so I don't stress out too much about not always getting organic. Bu I have no idea if imported are any better or worse. <br /><br />One of my all time fave ways to eat cheese is simply a platter of cheese & fruit. So good!<br /><br />I've never heard of Coastal cheddar....Frau Guten Taghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653229285252138595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326781648220704566.post-54527486676446013002010-08-24T21:29:34.986-07:002010-08-24T21:29:34.986-07:00I love cheese too.

Organic Valley makes a few raw milk varieties, maybe you've seen them--I buy those often as staples, along with goat cheese (which I love), and of course parmesan (only the real stuff!) (or some other such parm/asiago/etc-type pasta cheese.). I really like fresh mozzarella too, but haven't found a more healthful brand for that, so don't really eat that as much... (I don't buy US-made cheese that's not organic (or doesn't say that it doesn't have hormones/antibiotics)).<br /><br />Occasionally, I do buy other types too just because they're so yummy! (I like the smoked Gouda too!!), but I don't do that on a regular basis, with me its just more of a "treat" kind of thing. (if I just left it up to my taste buds though, I know I would be eating LOTS of cheese ALL the time, LOL!). Occasionally, to mix things up, I'll fix a "european" sort of dinner--cheeses, bread/crackers, fruit, olives, wine, maybe a few nuts... a fun change of pace for a light supper. :) <br /><br />I wondered if cheese has to necessarily be organic (or otherwise labeled as not having it) to not have the bad stuff in it? Like, would an imported european cheese have hormones/antibiotics? does it depend on the country? (Have it in my mental notes to research more about this...). I like how TJ's seems to put more specific info on the labels about their cheese...<br /><br />I think I know which Costco cheese you're referring to.... I think I used to get it sometimes (had to let my membership expire what with all the traveling)... Have you tried the coastal cheddar? Mmm, SO good!!Staceynoreply@blogger.com
