Goot Essa is a cooperative of Plain Pennsylvania dairy farmers who have banded together to sell milk and cheese. In the German language “Goot Essa” means “good food” or “good eating”. They work the land and make the cheese by hand creating a little known but much loved American cheddar with a big pure flavor that is very addictive. After three years of aging the cheese, it is quite sharp. Over the last 20 years this Amish cheese maker has mastered the art of making gourmet-quality cheeses. Each step in the process requires strict attention to time, temperature and pH level geared to produce peak flavor in each type of cheese. Starting with whole, pasteurized milk from Amish farms, they add vegetable-enzyme rennet and cultures to form the curds. Then they expel the whey and water from the curds by stirring, adding salt and washing the curds. Finally they place the curds in hoops, which are pressed to achieve the desired consistency and placed in a cool room for aging. The sharp cheddar is aged for three years, making it one of the finest flavored sharp cheddars available.
