Cup Cheese

Cup cheese is an American cheese made with raw cow's milk. It originates from Pennsylvania, where it has been made by the Amish and Mennonites for centuries. The texture of cup cheese is soft and similar to molasses, and its flavors are strong and sour.


The cheese is quite fatty, but there are some fat-free versions available in supermarkets. The name cup cheese refers to the method of storage – it is traditionally stored or sold in a cup or a pot.
