This mild, semisoft cheese performs well in savory dishes, such as lasagna.
Farmer’s cheese is a creamy-white, mild, semisoft cheese made from cows’ milk. It is curdless, grainy, and firm, and produced commercially and on farms in the United States by a variety of methods. The production of farmer’s cheese generally begins with cottage cheese that is made from fresh milk, drained, placed in a form, and pressed overnight to remove additional liquid. The result is a cheese that can be sliced or crumbled, and that has a mildly tart flavour. At its best, this cheese has a clean, mild quality. Some farmer’s cheese may be aged a few weeks to create a semisoft cheese that resembles brick cheese.
Varieties
Farmer’s cheese may be sold fresh or aged. A French variety of farmer’s cheese that resembles both white cheese and cottage cheese is produced by kneading cheese curd, seasoning it with salt or cream, and then molding it.
