Sun Apr 18 20:03:23 -0700 2004 315129 0 hana 1 315180 I've seen it at the various Jon's supermarkets, which carry a good range of ethnic items. I don't know if there are any in OC. Sun Apr 18 23:04:39 -0700 2004 315129 0 Joe MacBu 1 315243 Good luck. Please post if you find it. I went everywhere last week looking for it. Nothing in stock. Idiot at Beverly Hills Cheese Store, when asked for farmer's cheese/pot cheese/fresh cheese tried to sell my husband *crescenza* which is nothing remotely like farmer's cheese. Had to use ricotta instead.

You might find it there. Mon Apr 19 14:43:53 -0700 2004 315129 0 LBQT 1 315305 I find Hoop cheese works just as well. I think Gelson's carries it. Try there or Bristol Farms if there's one in your area. Mon Apr 19 16:35:55 -0700 2004 315129 0 Jerome 1 315516 The deli @ Alpine Inn in Torrance carries it. Tried the European Deli in Anaheim? Tue Apr 20 17:30:28 -0700 2004 315129 0 Joe Fensterblaugh 1 315607 It's been in every Raalph's I've shopped at. It's with the kosher section of herring and smoked salmon in the cold area near the other cheeses. The brand is Friendship. It comes in a rectangular 7.5 oz. package. If you prefer a drier curd, then buy hoop cheese. Farmer's cheese has a creamier texture, and is moister. Wed Apr 21 00:27:26 -0700 2004 315129 0 Lisa
