Cup cheese

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Cup cheese is a soft, spreadable cheese rooted in Pennsylvania Dutch culinary history. Its heritage dates back to the immigration of the Mennonites and Amish to Pennsylvania in the late 17th century. A variation of the German cheese Kochkäse, it is a specialty food product labeled as cup cheese because it is sold in a cup. Cup Cheese is described in James A. Michener's novel Centennial in 1974: 'You ever tasted my mother's cup cheese? Best in Lancaster.' 'Poppa likes cup cheese,' she said with a neutral look on her pretty face. 'You don't? Levi asked. 'Too smelly.' [[Category:Uncategorized
