Let's go back in time to the beginning of cheese… (a theory)

The history of cheese probably began when a nomad, traveling with a camel, was about to set off on a journey through the desert. In preparation for his hot, thirsty journey, he filled his saddlebag, made of a dried sheep’s stomach, with milk and set off. When he stopped some hours later for a drink, he found his milk had separated into some white solids (the curds) and a watery, milky fluid (the whey). How did this happen? There were 4 essential ingredients to the process: start with milk, add the “stirring motion” induced by the rocking walk of the camel, add the hot heat from the sun and finally, the rennin (digestive enzyme) from the sheep’s stomach. Et voilà - cheese! Thus began the illustrious history of cheese making!

Fromage Blanc is a fresh, quick-to-make cheese. Of French origin, its name simply means “white cheese” and it makes an excellent cheese spread with herbs and spices added to it. 

It can also be used by itself as a substitute for cream cheese or ricotta in cooking. Our fromage has the consistency of a ricotta.

Bite-size cheese curds that have not been pressed or aged will emit a squeak when you bite into them — especially if they are less than a day old.

The casein network in unpressed fresh curd has not knitted into a compact structure, but rather is porous with plenty of air trapped inside. The wet, elastic curd therefore vibrates when we put our teeth through it, and this vibration is at a frequency in the audible range.

Our cheese curds typically do not squeak when they are ready to purchase, although the quicker you buy them after processing, the better chance you have for the squeak. *Note: squeakiness DOES NOT determine deliciousness. Both our Plain and Jalapeño cheese curds are equally tasty and ready to enjoy!
