(Off Topic) Friendship Dairies, largest family-owned business of its kind ! friendshipdairies.com Over 80 years ago, Friendship Dairies was born in the small town of Friendship, New York. Our founder started his dairy company producing and selling an Old World style of fresh cheese called Farmer Cheese. He would make the cheese all week long, and then bring it down with him on the "railway" to sell it on the streets of "the city" on the weekend. Friendship produces a complete line of "all natural" cultured dairy products - Farmer Cheese, Cottage Cheese, Sour Cream, Buttermilk, Hoop Cheese and Yogurt... The dairy continues to receive all of its milk from over 200 independent farmers within a 75 mile radius of the plant. The milk is fresh, and used within hours of its arrival at the manufacturing facility. Farmer cheese is an Old World style, fresh, pressed curd cheese made from Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Skim Milk, Cream and Salt. Hoop Cheese is the same product - except without the cream and the salt. Both Friendship Farmer Cheese and Hoop Cheese are very low in lactose. Approximately 15 years ago, many major manufacturers of cultured dairy products made farmer cheese. The manufacturing process and the packaging was labor intensive, a very costly process especially with the growing use of automated technology. Yet, there was no guarantee that farmer cheese could be automated without losing the taste and consistency that makes it so appealing. For that reason, most companies stopped manufacturing the product. Realizing that there was still a great demand for the farmer cheese, Friendship invested in developing a package and an effective packaging system that still delivered the same "homemade" quality of farmer cheese. Today, Friendship is the only major manufacturer of cultured dairy products to make farmer cheese. The packaging the company developed has allowed them to expand the distribution of farmer cheese as far away as the West Coast. This same packaging technology is used for Friendship Hoop Cheese as well. Hoop Cheese would be considered "Dry Curd" by..... ...for people with restricted diets who still crave dairy products and cheese. ..."intestinal health experts" recommend Dry Curd Cheese for those suffering from digestive conditions such as Crohn's Disease, Colits, Diverticulitis and Celiac Disease. If you belong to a group or organization for people that suffer from any of the aforementioned, or any other digestive ailment/ condition - we'd like to hear from you.ÿ In order to gain distribution for Hoop Cheese in stores around the country, we need to make people and retailers (supermarkets) more aware of it, and educate them on why consuming it can be a health benefit. Please contact us, because with your support, we can better organize an effort to make the product more accessible to those who really need it.
