SCD DCCC Sources

 

  Traditional and Online Resources
 

Dry curd cottage cheese (dccc) can be frozen, and when thawed the curd has a softer, lighter consistency which is useful when baking.

SCD-legal dry curd cottage cheese may also be called "farmer's cheese" or "dry curd farmer cheese". Regardless of what it is called, it must meet the following criteria to be SCD-legal:

  • No milk products are added to cream the dry curd after the culture has worked on the curd (no milk is added after fermentation).

If you can't find your location listed below, look for an adjacent location that might carry dry curd cottage cheese. Many grocery stores will special-order dry curd upon request.

Please use the Feedback form to email the webmasters if you find other SCD-legal dry curd cottage cheese or farmers cheese sources that should be listed here. Check the SCD Store and Food Options links for additional resources.

  National Distributor Advantage International Foods Corp, a distributor to Whole Foods, Fresh Fields, Wild Oats, Shop Rite, and more. Advantage Foods is no longer distributing Friendship Farmers or Hoop Cheese (DCCC products). Elaine had previously indicated "the New Way Natural Day "Dry Farmer Cheese" is the only product that is SCD-legal. The cream cheese is illegal and the yogurt products (Tzatziki) are illegal. Even the New Way hoop cheese has milk added AFTER the culture which accounts for some [illegal] lactose". Contact Richard Kessler at 973-575-3500. 1/11/04
  East Coast and CA distribution Friendship Farmer's Cheese and Friendship Hoop Cheese. According to Elaine at the beginning of 2004, Friendship "is closing down much of the production of the Hoop and, therefore, SCDers are left mainly with Farmers. The Hoop will still be available in delies in NYC, etc. but may eventually disappear even from these places. That is OK as my conversation with the dairy scientist at Friendship has led me to believe SCDers are just fine with Farmers." Here's a photo of what it looks like.
