What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated cheese/deli section as a grab-and-go snacking option for caprese salads, picnic boards, or quick bites between meals. It feels fresh, simple, and wholesome—comforting and slightly nostalgic while also convenient for entertaining or casual nights in. The short ingredient list (pasteurized milk, vinegar, enzymes, salt) and basic milk processing (pasteurization and coagulation) suggest a processed dairy product with natural textures rather than an ultra‑processed formulation.
