How interesting you all are making the cheese recipes. I do not intend to make any. I do enjoy knowing
"How they Do That" Thanks for the ride-along. keep the info coming. beats politics any day. LOL Don't get
me guys, I am joking..............sort of LOL

The only thing i am good at is cottage cheese, chevere and cheddar. I still haven't been able to successfully make mozzerella and am too lazy to make provalone, gouda, and other cheeses. ITs bad enough with cheddar, its a 4 -6 hour process

I'd never bother with mozzerella as the Italian community here makes it by the train load and it is wonderful. They make it every day so it is really fresh and good. I like chevere too, but never tried to make it. (One of Al's friends went to work at a little chevere "factory" after he retired to the mountains in Maryland). I get my good Amish cheddar (rat cheese) off the big wheel at the Amish end of our local farmers market. It's a really sharp, rather dry cheese that is my all time favorite.

Is the Amish cheddar approved by the gov't?

Diane Amberg · May 02, 2011, 09:37:16 AM

Approved? I don't know if the Gov't even likes sharp cheddar.

permitted, yes, of course.

How do you mean permitted?

Do you the Amish have to have permission to sell or do you have to have permission to buy?

To answer the earlier question, PA issues permits to the Amish who meet cleanliness and temperature standards for selling raw milk and "organic" foods. It's for the buyers protection. So sue you say...for what? The cow?

Amish have assets. Farms, equipment, livestock. Yeah sue. Plus they do have money.
