Andrew & Everett Hormone Free Grated Parmesan Cheese, 7 oz container

Our mission is to bring to market the highest quality cheese possible that supports the small independent family run dairy farmers’ values and is free of any hormones, animal byproducts, fillers, or binders. To develop a better cheese we believe one needs to first find out what makes cheese inferior to begin with. What the common consumer doesn't realize is that most cheese is made from milk that has too much age on it to be able to be sold in a liquid form in a bottle. Many cheese makers buy this distressed milk at a large discount to make cheese with. The older the milk is the more it denigrates or breaks down. This requires the cheese manufacture to put additives into the cheese such as binders and fillers. Another concern is the use of rBGH (bovine growth hormone) and BST (bovine Somatrotropin) in dairy cows. rBGH is a synthetic, genetically engineered version of a cows natural growth hormone, used to make the cow over produce milk by up to 35%.
