This hand-made, cow milk cheese is produced from an original German-Swiss traditional recipe taken directly from our Amish heritage. This cheese is a completely hand-made white cheddar with a well-rounded sharpness and a deep cheddar flavor coupled with a hickory smoked flavor. Mountain Home Woodsmoked Cheddar is great in carbonara sauces, soups, and mixed into cheese logs. This cheese enhances the flavor of grilled red meats and various stone fruits. Spicy brown mustard, garlic bread, and earthy jams bring out a complex blend of flavors from this cheese. Mountain Home Woodsmoked Cheddar also pairs well with fruity white wines and full bodied, smokey red wines as well as most hearty pilsners and pale ales. This cheese promotes easy entertaining: just put out a block of Woodsmoked Cheddar, some crackers, and let your guests help themselves.
Goot Essa began in 2001 with a group of Amish dairy farmers who worked together to produce high quality cheese with some of their milk. Their goal then, as now, was to use their cheese-making expertise to provide enough extra income to keep their families on the farm. They have chosen to work their fields in the traditional way, with horse and manpower instead of machines. This means that their farms will be small, but each acre and each animal is cared for with love and the respect of nature because theirs are true family farms. Their goal is to offer food products made from the freshest, highest quality, all-natural ingredients. They make it all by hand, in small quantities, giving each one their individual attention. In the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect, “Goot Essa” means “good food” or “good eating.” It seems only natural to name their group Goot Essa, because they want you to share in their love of hand-made, good old-fashioned food—food with all the subtlety that means slowly aged and gourmet. Goot Essa, because they want you to share their love of recipes passed down over hundreds of years. That is their story—pride in the past, with hope for the future—Goot Essa.
