Found these cheeses at Cub today $4.
Found these cheeses at Cub today $4.99 BOGO, which is a good deal for specialty cheeses that are semi-local (WI). The habenero pepper Jack is good, with a nice heat, and the cheese is not sweet at all—I think the “sweet heat” is just meant to be cutesy, there is nothing sweet in the ingredients.

The one on the left is usually about $10.
Hoffmans is pretty solid
I Googled the company, but could only find one page and it talked about a Vermont sharp white cheddar, so not sure if same company online as these were from, label says Wauwatosa, WI.
MOtherflipper, you still have Cub Foods? That place was my jam in the mid-90s. Then they went under in Ohio. 🙁
lol @ “Still”
They bought out all the Rainbow Foods chains here, and some others, too. They takin’ over.
PS – My dad worked at Cub for ages as a baker.
Jane Eyre wow, I got a GOOD deal. I was thinking maybe $5-6. When I’m at the store, I usually get Cabot for sharp cheddar, but it was not on sale today.
Other than that, I like getting my cheese online through these guys: simplycheese.net – Simply Cheese Home
Bobbi Jo Woods I went to our huge cheese section and got this one a couple of months ago. It’s REALLY good. I used it in my homemade mac and cheese. I can’t afford it on a regular though. 🙂
I’ve learned the major commercial cheese companies make sub-par cheese and it’s almost always grain-fed (much of the feed is also GMO) and comes from cows full of hormones. So while the mass-produced stuff may be a few bucks cheaper, I feel like it’s worth the little more to pay for stuff I know is going to be good for me. I cave and buy some of the mass-produced crap once in a great while when in a pinch (I mean, I can’t be OUT OF CHEESE), but since I found the online resource, I will be trying to stay a step ahead.
I used to always stay away from the specialty cheese/deli areas of stores for most of my life, thinking cheese is cheese, so why pay more? Now I know better. And lots of times, there’s one or two new to me that are marked way down so the store can make room for more stock, and I love trying new cheeses.
I love Cabot cheese.
It really is. And the creamery does not claim the end product to be grass-fed since not all the cows at the dairy farms they partner with have access to pasture year-round (though some do), and some of the milk is blended, but I know that the cows that do live in temperate climates eat things like silage and hay when it’s cold. So even though it’s not all grass, it’s still less bad than the grain-fed crap.
