The prices aren't the best, but there's a promotion with which you get overnight shipping for only $10 if you spend $85 or more.

He's whom I ask about other Italian hechsherim, not all of which are so reliable. Rabbi Belinow is completely reliable.

I have a block, but am not familiar with Rabbi Belinow, or any Italian hasgachas, for that matter.

He also said that his cheese has a different Hashgacha? Strange. just saw this blog, finally some English cheese in the US. interesting though cause i spoke to the owner in the UK he says he is not exporting to the states?

It is very much the real thing. The hechsher is from Rabbi Yitchak Belinow of Milan. The brand is "Pieffe" by a company named Fanticini. It is marked kosher for Passover and the label states "It was controlled since the beginning of milking till the end of the production." Presumably this means it is cholov yisroel. Here are some pictures of Rabbi Belinow from the manufacturers web site (http://www.sirio.com/fanticini/English/Products/PR/kosher.htm) Shipping is minimal as it can be mailed at room temperature.

Since we keep chalav yisrael, finding really good cheese is difficult. I enjoyed it, but really wonder what "sharp" cheddar actually takes like, as I have yet to find any that are even kosher, let along chalav yisroel. It does taste differently than the usual Haolam cheeses, and is pleasant, IMHO. I have to see if they get in the other flavors. What I would like to bring to your attention is that chalav yisrael unshredded Parmesan is available, if you know where to go. Two years ago, I was tremendously pleased to find a store called "Epicure Grocer" in South Miami Beach, FL. I saw the name and ran to its front door ;). I admit wholeheartedly that I am a foodie! Well... that store is *such* a pleasure... but torturous as well. So many things, and 90% of them not kosher. BUT!!!! They have chalav yisrael Parmesan cheese from Italy. And foie gras. And caviar. The Parmesan costs a holy arm and leg. Literally. It was about $25 for a respectably sized triangle. I bought it and shlepped it back to NY. What a difference compared to the pre-grated garbage! I've been forever spoiled. <i> I've been wanting to go back ever since, and finally got the bright idea of checking if Epicure has a website, or if I could find it elsewhere on the Internet. Epicure does indeed have a website that you can order from (which I can't find right now), but I've found that a local store stocks it as well! Zabars in NYC stocks it - http://tinyurl.com/3rhrv. But as it happens, I'll be in FL sooner than I go into NYC, so I'll probably pick up another package of Parmesan at Epicure if the price has come down (and ask for the price on the foie gras again, just to freak out the husband yet again ) Thanks for a wonderful blog. Very enjoyable. But now I need a snack.</i> It’s funny that I just found this post, as I just found the King George cheddar at Brach’s in Far Rockaway.
