The Difference Between Artisan Cheese and Processed Cheese

Artisanal cheeses are cheeses that are made by hand, using natural or organic ingredients. Using traditional cheese-making methods, the most commonly used ingredients are milk, salt, and rennet. The milk is sourced from local farms. No added preservatives are included. 

Farmstead cheese is a type of artisan cheese that is created on the farm that raises the animals producing the milk used. These cheeses use only the milk sourced from their own farm. 

September Farm Cheese from Telford, PA, is one example of the perfect artisanal cheese to enhance breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even snacktime. Choose from various flavors, such as Pepperoni Augusto Jack or Honey Brook Sharp Cheddar, to bring exceptional taste to every meal.  

Goat Milk Cheeses

Goat cheese is one type of artisanal cheese that is made with goat milk that either naturally ferments or uses acid to separate the curds and whey. It does not use rennet, like most cheeses. It is known for having a tangy taste and creamy texture that is often soft enough to spread.

Goat milk cheese from Telford, PA, is the perfect addition to appetizers, salads, a cheese spread, or spread on top of crusty bread.     

What Makes Artisan Cheese Unique

Handcrafted cheeses are unique due to the artistry, quality, and flavor profile. Like most things that are made by hand, artisanal cheeses are produced in small batches, rather than the large batches that are mass-produced by machines. Smaller batches mean that no two batches are exactly the same. Flavor profiles and textures may change seasonally and by batch.
