Every couple of months I put in a BIG order with the “cheese lady”, Pam Otto of Prairie Dairy in Owatonna, Minnesota.
Here is the long list of different cheeses they  make.
They are a family run business from near my old stomping grounds. Â The cheeses are so good and the prices very reasonable. Â I load up every couple months. Â We often take a cheese tray when we go to friends plus we eat cheese on most everything. Â Neither Hubby or I are milk drinkers so cheese is a way we get in some dairy.
Each time I order it seems Pam has come up with something new. Â This time around it was cream cheese. Â The Olive Cream Cheese is hands down amazing. Â I’ve had to have little talks with myself saying “Step away from the cream cheese. Â Step away from the cream cheese.” Â It’s just that good!!
Pam does great gift boxes too!!
I have kids coming home for the weekend and you can bet I’ll have a cheese tray ready to serve.
If you’re interested here’s Pam’s email…prairiedairy55060@yahoo.com. Â Tell her the crazy lady in Iowa sent you!!
I need to know what is in the cream cheese and olives. Just the two items? The reason I ask is there is a local Cuban restaurant here that makes olive butter. It is amazingly good. Simply green olives chopped fine and added to whipped butter (not margarine). I will soften some cream cheese tonight and add some olives and see what it is like. If there is anything in it besides the two ingredients please let me know. I know fresh cream cheese is far superior to the store kind but that is where I live. :)
Your quilt top is beautiful! You almost have me talked into trying a double wedding ring someday. Where is your old stomping grounds? My hubby is from Kenyon. I was surprised to see you mention Owatonna! I don’t comment often, but I love your blog & read it religiously! You offer so much–quilting inspiration, book reviews, recipes…Thanks.
I’m always looking for unusual cheeses. Do they have a website or do you just email Pam directly?
