BikeBookBread Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 ...sold in the meat case, whereas other cheeses are sold in the cheese case? Also, what IS longhorn cheese? Is it like cheddar? I've wondered this for a long time. My mind is obviously not filled with enough important stuff right now...:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hmmm... I never thought about it before. I wonder if it is cheese made from the milk of Longhorn cows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidi Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Nope, longhorn cheese is cheddar cheese that has been rounded on two corners. THATS IT. They've fooled people into thinking it is something special or better, and people bought into it. I have a relative that works at a cheese factory; we took a tour of the factory not too long ago.

Mesa Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I dont like the plastic wrap they use in the meat market on the longhorn cheese. It makes the cheese taste gross... and you cant cut just the ends of the cheese off. ALL of the cheese has that icky taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Where I grew up longhorn was always colby cheese and just came in a semi-circle shape. Nothing special about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Here you go - Longhorn Cheese This explains that it's cheddar or colby, but doesn't explain why it's in the meat case. ETA: but the picture indicates it's the perfect size for grilled cheese sandwiches. :D from wiki: Colby is similar to Cheddar, but does not undergo the cheddaring process[4]. Colby is a softer, moister, and milder cheese than Cheddar because it is produced through a washed-curd process. ....Longhorn is the best known of the Colby cheeses. Colby should not be aged. Colby dries out quickly.[6] Colby cheeses are typically sold in half-rounds. Pinconning cheese is a sharp aged relative of Colby cheese.
