takes lots of effort to make

same reason divorce is expensive. Because it's worth it.

Because it's cheese.

Relatively large amounts of raw material for relatively little output. Extremely long production time.

>>10556820
>after all that bullshit it's still crumbling and uneven as fuck
just take a knife and cut it you colossal faggot

1 kg of cheese takes like 5 litres of milk, plus a lot of processing and long ripening for some cheeses.

is rycki edam available for sale in Chicago

>>10556820
I feel like the solution here is to use a cheese saw.

>>10556952
>Just take a 28 inch knife and cut it.
You are a dumbass.
Do you have any idea how much blade grab that would cause?

>>10556792
Because America is a dump. We have real cheese and it's cheap.

>>10557221

>cheese saw.
do amerilards really eat pieces of cheese so large that they need an actual saw to cut it

>>10557240

You do this shit for 8 hours straight, you are going to be doing it the smart way, not the impressive way dumbass.

I am requesting a WEBM of a "cheese saw"

>>10557251
Request denied.
Anon stopped delivering in 2012.

>>10557267
Youtube has no results for "cheese saw". You are talking shit.

>>10556792
Go check out how different types of cheeses are made on youtube, it's pretty neat.

>>10556792
wtf is that cheese in the middle that looks like polystyrene or rice-crispie bars?
i've eaten a lot of cheese and never seen anything like it. huge curds.

>>10556792
>Wisconsin “cheese”
Do Americans really eat this?

Takes a lot of milk and time

>>10558343
Wisconsin makes most of America's best cheese, some really excellent examples. It also makes most of America's cheap, pizza grade cheese.
Most of the Kraft fake cheese comes from California though, as super cheap, low quality milk is more readily available there

@10558366
>Wisconsin makes most of America's best cheese
no (You) for you

>>10558343
Shit looks waaay too greasy and uniform.

>>10558370
No other state has even close to as many top tier cheese producers as Wisconsin. I don't even know what other state could plausibly be considered competitive. Vermont and Upstate New York make some good cheddar but they don't have nearly the breadth of quality styles and producers. Other states have plenty of scattered good cheesemakers but non really have much of a high tier cheese industry

@10558394
Meanwhile, at the local supermarket

>>10558394
>Ingredients: pasteurized cultured milk

>>10558366
You cannot buy raw cheese from Wisconsin because of the big dairy industry

>>10558400
there is literally nothing wrong with that

>>10558404
Try some real cheese and you'll eclipse the difference. The pasteurization process imparts an unpleasant flavor.
I guess you wouldn't notice but once you try a true raw milk cheese you'll never go back.

>>10558403
>You cannot buy raw cheese from Wisconsin
This is only true of young cheese, if it is aged 60 days you can from what I can tell

>>10558404
this is what the WIDF *actually* believes

>>10558416
>The pasteurization process imparts an unpleasant flavor
No it doesn't that is literally just marketing bullshit

Fucking cheese costs as much as prime t-bone steak. Is there no cheaper way to turn milk into a block?

>>10558422
Do you honestly believe that the presence of cheap cheese makes the good cheese less good? This logic is super silly

I surely don't believe that cheese should, or must be pasteurized, but it definitely doesn't make the cheese bad and is not something to be avoided

>>10558427
>>cooking something doesn't change its taste

You're among the biggest retards I've seen on this board, and that's saying something

>>10558427
>t. never tried real cheese

>>10558437
I am not saying it does nothing, but to call it inherently "unpleasant" is 100% marketing bullshit

>>10558435
Always amusing when Wisconsin appeals to logic in defense of their horrible dairy-based abominations inflicted upon the rest of the country

>>10558445
Also amusing when some coastie who clearly knows nothing about American cheese in general thinks an instance of a cheap cheese bein made in a place somehow is representative of the other cheese being made there

Wisconsin dominates the American real cheese market at every quality tier, thats just where the industry is based. It has the best infrastructure and best dairy education system in the country

>>10558455
Out of curiosity how do you decide when I'm a "coastie libtard" vs "achmed the surrender frog" or "nigel the rotten-toothed englishman" or whatever?
>at every quality tier
You have made it abundantly clear you don't know anything about quality tiers. "Made with 100% real milk" says more about what you take for granted than you seem to realize.

>>10558443
Have you ever seen a product label or ad which says "unpasteurized tastes better"?

Nobody is going around making that claim in ads to market things to you. It's an observation made by people who have tried both.

I agree that "unpleasant" is a bit of hyperbole and I'm sure that will trigger the pedantic 'spergs, but having compared the two myself I find the unpastuerized is nearly always tastier. I've never seen an ad try and tell me that though.

>anerimutt “”””””cheese””””””

>>10558461
>when I'm a "coastie libtard" vs "achmed the surrender frog" or "nigel the rotten-toothed englishman"
um what? When did I imply anything about politics? Or say anything negative about Europeans or Euoprean cheese?
I just assumed you were a coastie because of your blatant ignorance of the American cheese industry and odd dislike of Wisconsin

>>10558466
It would be pointless as it's illegal to distribute raw milk products.
No point in advertising something people can never buy

You can get these at basically every bar in Wisconsin so Wisconsin wins

>>10558461
Just by your comment I can tell you're from Reddit you fag nigger lover

>>10558427
Lol t retard who have never had raw milk products

>>10558518
its hardly even different, and certainly not better

>>10558521
You're either a retarded or trolling

>>10558513
Vermont hsa superior cheese.

>>10558506
>because of your blatant disagreement with the WIDF marketing literature I've memorized and perfectly reasonable dislike of Wisconsin '''''cheese''''
FTFY

I'm not saying you're wrong, I am in fact living near a coast, but it's like the first time you've ever gotten that right. Usually it's like "if you don't think Spotted Cows are literally the best thing EVER and if you have EVER enjoyed a raw milk cheese it means you hate America and have literally never even set foot here"

>>10558527
Vermont is good, a solid number two. A little too focused on only cheddar though

>>10556952
They do all the bullshit so it is uneven as fuck, because that's what the parmesan connoisewers want.

>>10558536
The very fact that you use a reddit term like WIDF and think that is somehow a thing suggests you are way too coastie for me

>but it's like the first time you've ever gotten that right
What are you even talking about? Assuming you are the same one guy that says WIDF anytime anyone says anything not negative about Wisconsin you pretty clearly imply you are from the northeast or midatlantic that for some reason has a boner for California none the less. I don't think anyone has ever confused you for actually being European

>>10558536
>"if you don't think Spotted Cows are literally the best thing EVER
This is how I know you don't know what you are talking about.
Its Chicago and Minnesota people that think Spotted Cow is the best thing ever because they cannot have it. People actually from Wisconsin that drink beer will almost always say that Spotted Cow is ok, but not even one of New Glarus's best beers. Within Wisconsin Spotted cow is more the base tier generally agreeable and affordable beer that will please people who don't drink much beer and still be ok with people who like beer.

So incorporate this info into your next rant

>a reddit term
I invented the term, neophyte post-election mobile friend
>>10558555
Sure, sure. There are no homosexuals in iran and no american troops in bahgdad either

>>10556801

>>10558624
>I invented the term, neophyte post-election mobile friend
Yeah, I mean it feels philosophically like a reddit term, what it is referencing and all

Also, you really like to litter your posts with random allusions to unrelated things, just look at this short post of your and how many non-sequiturs you fit in
>neophyte post-election mobile friend
>no homosexuals in iran and no american troops in bahgdad either
Over half of your post is just random garbage shit posting

>>10558527
Vermont should be traded for Ontario, Vermont is just American Quebec and Ontario is just Canadian New York anyway

>>10556792
There's a lot of types of cheeses that are fairly cheap though, especially considering how nutrient dense it is. It's not like you can eat cheese in the same volume you eat bread or rice etc., you're not supposed to eat a lot at once.

Americans should be gassed
>we have the best cheeses ! look at this cheddar !

>tfw live on Wisconsin and we get cheese for cheap
Feels good man

>>10558685
Cheddar is the best kind of cheese though

>tfw there's no burger or orange cheese in Australia
why live

>>10558669
That's bull shit, I live in Vermont. We do not like Frog land to the north of the Green Mountain State.
