Happy Farms Cheese

Occasionally we shop at Aldi.  Most of their canned and frozen stuff is good, bagged salads good, most fresh fruits and vegetables lousy.   Milk is usually closer to the sell-by date than other stores, and their selection is pretty limited.

I really like cheddar cheese, but I'm not at all picky about it--Store brand, major brand or gourmet are all about the same to me.  Except Happy Farms. one of Aldi's many house brands.  I had to check the ingredients--I was convinced they were using candle wax as a filler.


Apparently not.  They managed to get that nasty texture and lack of taste completely naturally.   We also had a block of Colby-Jack that was distressingly similar.

Have you ever tried Private Selection? This is a Kroger brand, made by Cabot and is consistently good. We buy Vermont Extra Sharp white cheddar.
