8oz Raw Shredded A2/A2 Colby Cheese

A firm, mild, buttery cheese

Similar to a mild cheddar cheese, but a bit milder and creamier.

Colby cheese goes well with rye bread, apples, and pears. Can be used as a table cheese, and is a great choice for kids. The gentle flavor works well in grilled cheese or any dish that needs a last minute creamy component.

About our A2/A2 cheese:

Made in small batches from raw, fresh, unprocessed, 100% A2/A2 milk. 100% grass-fed. No chemicals, antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs.

A2/A2 milk has to do with the type of beta-casein protein in milk. A2/A2 milk contains 100% beta-casein protein, whereas most cows in the US produce a mix of A1 and A2 proteins. A2/A2 milk can be easier to digest and may help those with milk intolerance or allergies. Learn more here.

Honest Disclosure: 

As with all beef or veal rennets, the rennet contains trace amounts of sodium acetate, propylene glycol, and potassium sorbate. In 1 lb of finished cheese, there's about .00066 grams of rennet. Any additives would be miniscule.

As with all cheese cultures, the culture contains trace amounts of maltodextrin. About 1/2 tsp of culture is used to make about 1 lb of cheese. Maltodextrin amounts would be miniscule.

The cheese is packaged in HDPE plastic, which is the most environmentally stable of all plastics. It does not contain BPA, phthalates, heavy metals, harmful fumes, or allergens. But all plastic has the potential to leach chemicals.
