Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery Natural Cheddar Cheese Curds Review
I came across Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery Cheese Curds at one of our local grocery stores a couple weeks ago. They were on sale for $2.50 per pack, so I picked up some to give a try. Overall, it wasn't a bad purchase.
These weren't as fresh as some other cheese curds I've purchased. I mean, they didn't taste old or anything like that, but you can tell by the lack of a squeak when eating them.
That said, I thought the curds had a good flavor to them. A lot of times, you'll buy a brand of curds and all you'll taste is salt rather than cheese. That was not the case with this brand though. The curds had a mild cheddar flavor, and I couldn't taste much, if any, salt when eating them.
They also proved to be filling. At first, I thought I'd end up eating the whole bag in one sitting. However, it took me about three tries to get through it, adding even more value for the lower price.
Another thing I found intriguing about this brand was the wide range of varieties. I purchased the natural curds for myself and grabbed a package of the ranch-flavored curds for my wife. I personally did not try those (I'm not a ranch fan) but she seemed to enjoy them. If I come across them on sale again, I'll probably give some of those other varieties a try as well.
Final Opinion: I don't know if I can say it was my favorite brand, mostly because I do prefer curds that are fresh enough to squeak. However, I would still recommend these as a snack choice, especially if you can find them on sale like I did.
My Grade: A
