Product: Joseph farms "California Natural" Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 8oz package
Would you recommend this cheese? NO, absolutely not
Comments: Imagine the texture of firm " cheese-food" yet your taste buds say blanched tofu. No cheddar flavor whatsoever.
Consumer experience: minus 15
From the package I was directed to the web page which listed 209-394-7984. The person who answered (normal business hours) said "Plant Security". The security officer pondered my request for "consumer relations" for a while before suggesting that I speak with Vince in quality control. Vince made me feel like an SS Titanic passenger first class who just been plunged naked in to polar waters. O.K. got it, Gallo is agribusiness at its worst. Don't let the nice packaging fool you.
"Natural" has no industry accepted meaning. Doubtful that the cows are treated any better than consumers. I do not believe the claim: "No artificial hormones" Absent from the label is "no rBST" . This is not organically produced cheese. Antibiotics are given to the cows which are not free range or grass fed. I didn't pay for organic cheese, but I did expect better quality. read more
