Cabot's __OU certified__ kosher sharp cheddar is $8 for 10oz at igourmet.com at the link below: http://www.igourmet.com/shoppe/prodview.aspx?prod=3367 Shipping and handling is usually high over the internet, but they have a promotion right now with which you receive overnight shipping for $10 on all orders over $85 (You could pool the order with friends to make this more reasonable).

I am not interested in more mediocre brands entering the market. But I'd love to see some more good stuff. A cabot sharp would be great, as would a greater variety of European-style cheeses.

I found it to be far better than Miller's. The Joseph farms mild cheddar is insipid, and though we bought a lot of it for the young kids, I had no great love for it. The Monterey and Moz were very neutral cheeses as well, ones not worth fighting for, except for the price, which was low (but increased every time I purchased). But the "Sharp" cheddar was a very reliable and flavorful medium cheddar (not sharp, in other words) but far better in my opinion than the other domestic kosher cheeses of that ilk. Michael:

By the way, unlike Craig W, I found Joseph Farms to be little better than Millers so am not disappointed to see them go.

While browsing the vast cheese selection, I came across a delicious 6-month sharp cheddar by a brand called Hennings. Their cheeses are KO and they ship. There is also site where you can find other kosher Wisconsin cheeses: http://www.savorwisconsin.com/AllListings/prodbusiness.asp?recordid=846&type=product Wisconsin cheese -- good stuff!
