Tortillon Cheese

Found a great tasting cheese: here.

It's a bit like cheese strings without the strings. It's in between cheddar cheese and cream cheese in texture. (I've never had cheese curds so don't know if this is cheese curd or otherwise).

They have a BBQ flavor with 9g protein and 1g carbs per 30g serving.

Delicious.

Cheese curds are salty and have a very rubbery texture and make squeaking sounds against your teeth when you chew. That doesn't sound like an endorsement, I know... but I love them.

I don't know Tortillon, so I don't know if it's the same, though.

Very different texture than curds but still good.  I found the BBQ way too salty for me but still a nice treat.  I've seen them in the jar with the brine but haven't bought them yet ,may have to try those.  Been buying bocconccini in brine and love that so am sure will love these ones in brine as well.

Sandy, our Loblaws owned stores carry it.  It's in the deli section in the 2 stores that I have seen it in. Not right behind the deli but in the fridges near there.

I'll check to see if that brand is available in the local Loblaws, thanks, Tracey!

We have a cheese factory in the area (St. Alberts), that has incredible cheese.  DH goes directly to the factory (if he's in the area for work) and will buy a huge jar of "cheese rope" , which is very, very thin cheese strings tied into knots about 1.5 inches around that are in a brine.  They are awesome.  We also use to buy (not sure if they still have it), but a large jar of pickled cheese which to me tastes the same but comes in solid rectanges about 1.5 x 1.5 x 3".  They also sell this in local bars with crackers.  Yumm!

The cheese rope one in a huge jar is the same as the one they sell at the Loblaws stores.  If you go to Quebec, they have tons of this brand there. My son used to drive across the border to pick up the bbq flavoured ones all the time.  Good thing it was only 18 mins away or he may have had a **** fit waiting for them to sell it in Ontario.  LOL

Well I never know that it was curds. I tried curds about two years ago and HATED it. Now I want it.

My pallette has really changed post-op.

Same with blueberries: loved before, hate after.
