Notes: Great for parties. The cheese is pre-sliced to cracker size. Adams Reserve won the First Place Blue Ribbon for its Adams Reserve New York Extra Sharp Cheddar at the American Cheese Society competition in 2010. 

Great Lakes Cheese also does private labeling. I have seen a similar cheese -- private label, pre-sliced, lower priced -- at Stop n' Shop in New Jersey, but it is not labeled as kosher. The Adams Reserve label includes other Tablet K kosher cheeses, but they aren't listed on the website.

Cheddar, Reduced Fat Cheddar, Mediterranean Jack, Havarti, Camembert, Brie and more. The Camembert and Brie are both made in Canada.  

Notes: rBST free. The low-moisture mozzarella has a lot of flavor and is almost cheddar-ish. It eats like a slicing cheese. 

Notes: Certified organic from grass-fed cows in central California. These cheeses also have certification of humane treatment of animals. Varieties are Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Muenster, in wedges or slices. 

Notes: This cheese comes in a variety of formats, including Cheddar, Gouda, Mozzarella, Aged Provolone, Swiss, and Gruyere. 

Red Apple Cheese also manufactures the line of Naturally Good Kosher Cheeses under Tablet K supervision. 

Cappiello makes traditional fresh mozzarella in balls, braids that are plain, marinated (garlic/pepper and tomato/basil) or smoked, scamorza plain or smoked, and ricottas in various packages and styles. 

Notes: Most Cabot "exact weight" cheeses that come in the clear sleeve-type wrappers common in grocery stores are certified Tablet K D Kosher and Crescent-M Halal. Cabot cheeses, with the exception of Colby Jack, Shreds, Slices (including American), 3/4-ounce Bars and Cubes are certified by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America and by Tablet K. 

However, cheeses cut into irregular weights and packaged in the faux-parchment sleeves are not certified kosher, nor are the cheeses that have been sliced on an in-store dairy slicer and re-packaged and re-labeled in the deli--unless the deli itself is under strict kosher supervision.

Look for these symbols on the Cabot labels.

Cabot also makes an OU Sharp Cheddar. (see below)

Notes: Each year Cabot produces a limited amount of OU Kosher-for-Passover Sharp Cheddar. It has been aged 10 months for a rich flavor. This cheese is also Crescent-M Halal. Now in 8-oz. bars! This cheese is recognizable for its tighter cryovac packaging and the Passover OU hologram on the label. 

Notes: This chèvre is extremely mild. The goat flavor is not too strong, making this a versatile cheese for parties and fruit. It comes in a box shaped like a flattened pyramid. It has the most flavor at room temperature, but is already spreadable straight out of the fridge. 

Notes: Cholov also has a cow and a goat cheddar, both of which have vegetarian enzymes listed instead of rennet. 

Notes: Great cheese starts with great milk. At 5 Spoke Creamery in Westchester, N.Y., all of the cheeses are hand made in the farmstead tradition (produced on site with a closed herd) from the raw milk of grass-fed cows. The milk comes from Holstein cows that are free of pesticides and hormones. They milk the cows at 4:00 A.M. and make the cheese at 9:00 A.M. 

No longer under Kof-K, but Tablet K 

Cheese varieties: 

Herbal Jack, Tumbleweed, Red Vine Colby, Welsh Cheddar, Talcott, Redmond Cheddar, and Browning Gold (24 months)

No longer under Kof-K, but Tablet K 

Notes: I bought the plain "in water" cherry-sized tub, and a tub of the marinated Sundried Tomato & Parsley mozzarella at Stop n' Shop in NJ. This mozzarella comes from the Mongiello family -- cheesemakers and also inventors of mozzarella machinery. Click HERE for video of me tasting Formaggio! 

Look closely in the snow!

Notes: 

Notes: It comes in plain and with Zahatar, a Mediterranean spice blend, including sesame seeds, sumac, and sometimes dried mint. Read more about it HERE. 

Notes: Together, McCadam and Cabot represent 1,400 farm-families in America's Northeast. The McCadam line includes several degrees of Cheddar, a Pepper Jack, a Muenster, and a Horseradish cheese. 

Notice the Tablet K hechsher and Crescent-M Halal symbol in lower right-hand corner. Surprise! It's kosher!

Notes: At the Mehadrin booth were also Givat and J&J cheeses.

Notes: Meyenberg California goat cheese dates back to 1934. It is all natural and seasoned with sea salt. Goat cheese is an excellent alternative to cow's milk cheese for its digestibility and slightly lower fat content -- at 100 per oz. with 8g of fat. Meyenberg is unique in that the selection is of firm goat cheeses which are easy to serve on a cheese board and can also be shredded or melted over pizza, in tacos, or on grilled cheese sandwiches. 

Aged a minimum of 90 days

Notes: No website. Many types of cheese available, and in a variety of packs.   

Herb and Spice Yogurt Sliced Cheese

Notes: Extremely snackable! A Cajun-style cheeseball rolled into a tasty wedge of cheese. Mitzva Farms has a great sense of humor. Here, a playful cajun spice havarti "fromage avec aromates."

Notes: Montchevré Goat Cheese 4 oz. logs are present on many a grocery store shelf and include a range of flavors -- Plain, Garlic & Herbs, Four Peppers, Cranberry Cinnamon, Lemon Zest, Fig, Peppadew, and Sun-dried Tomato & Basil. 

An ounce of this fresh cheese is only 
80 calories with 4.5 grams of fat. 

Notes: Available formats include bars, slices and wheels of American, Brie, Cheddars, Feta, Gouda, Smoked Gouda, Havarti, Jack, PepperJack, Mozzarella, Muenster, Provolone, and Swiss. 

Slices!

Or bars!

This Cheddar has a slightly fruity and fermented flavor that makes it irresistible. It is milky and tangy with a pleasing and intriguing depth of flavor.  

Kosher Cheese by Pomegranate

Pomegranate has cheeses specially made for the store in other countries, and also makes and packages its own cheeses in the store in Brooklyn.

All cheeses packed at Pomegranate are cholov yisroel and Kehilla Kashrus.

Notes: Président Brie is a wallet-friendly way to enjoy kosher soft-ripened cheese. Readily available in supermarkets throughout the country, Président Brie has earned its place in the cheese case and on the American cheese board. This cheese comes in several sizes and package options.

Perfect size for baking under jams and nuts or inside puff pastry -- or for creating layered Brie "tortes," 
both savory and sweet alike.

Now Président Brie is available in an easy-to-slice log, complete with a thin, edible rind. Simply set this cheese out on a tray for guests to slice or prepare canapés in advance.

 It's the perfect shape for crackers and baguette slices!

Mark Rosen started Sugar River Cheese Co. in 2002. His Cheddars and Monterey Jacks appear on specialty shelves across the country as well as on kosher shelves. They appeal to a broad range of palates for their intriguing variety of flavors as well as the premium milk - which is obtained from small family farms in Wisconsin where the cows are treated with no rBGH (synthetic growth hormone). These uniquely flavored natural cheeses are made in small batches by hand.

Each cheese shows not only the richness of Wisconsin milk, but also bursts of fresh herbs and vegetables - vivid flavors that shine on a cheese plate, but do not disappear in cooking.

Certified cRc. Cholov stam. Flavors include Chipotle, Roasted Garlic and Green Onion, Tomato/Olive, Garlic/Basil, and Jalapeño/Cilantro.

Notes: Sorrento's 100% natural mozzarella now comes in a fresh log, ready to slice. The cheese is soft and delicate, so the producers have designed new packaging that both protects the cheese and allows for easy opening. The log itself is in plastic with a pull tab on one edge to eliminate cutting of the plastic which may damage the cheese.

On the back, there is a pull tab on the sleeve. Once removed, it releases the log of mozzarella. 

Since this mozzarella is in a log form, it is easy to slice; a Caprese salad comes out with even shapes of mozzarella slices instead of irregular slice sizes. 

Notes: There is not much information about The Good Life Cheese offerings, even though this line of cheeses shows up in a variety of stores in the northeast and possibly beyond. This line includes staple cheeses in blocks or slices. There is also a reduced fat cheese and a yogurt cheese.

The small sizes are sold in a group variety pack.

From the cheesemaven.com site for Foodworks: "All of our cheeses have the kosher symbol originally made by its owner Rabbi Heshy Gottesman.  Our cheeses are
supervised by Rabbi Dovid Katz of Avenue L in Brooklyn, New York, a member of Igud Harrabanim, who says all
of the ingredients are kosher and acceptable."

From the Tillamook website: "Tillamook Kosher Medium Cheddar cheese is manufactured under rabbinical guidance, and is made using a microbial/vegetable-based rennet. Identified by a kosher symbol, it is made via the same process as Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese." 

Tillamook Dairy has been farmer-owned since 1909. Tillamook makes many styles of cheeses, one of which is kosher. This all-around crowd pleaser is made with all natural ingredients, is free of rBST hormones, and is aged over 60 days.
