Small-Portion Cheeses
I’m a big fan of cheese in small packages. It’s the only way I can exercise portion control.
Frigo string cheese from Saputo – mozzarella, really cheap (49 cents), unremarkable taste
Mini Babybel – classy, encased in red wax
I’ve tried only the original variant. Unfortunately my taste isn’t refined enough to appreciate it. Available at Erewhon.
*Black Diamond Cheese from Parmalat – “World’s Greatest Cheddar” in 3/4 oz portion
I like this small rectangle of cheese a lot. Available at Erewhon.
Maria Masconi’s String Cheese – “When It Has to Be Italian”
Low Moisture Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese
Doesn’t have the texture of cheese.
Feels like you’re chewing on a plastic hose.
