Local Cheesemaker: Cheesygirl in Sealy, Texas
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
If we lived in the Austin or Houston, Texas areas, we’d be sure to check out Cheesygirl, a passionate maker of vegetarian goat cheeses and spreads made with vegetable rennet. President and CEO of Cheesygirl Susan Holle was once an executive at a large health care provider and now, with the help of hundreds of much-loved goats, makes lovely vegetarian cheeses
Here’s a bit more about Cheesygirl cheeses from their website.
“Huh? Isn’t all cheese vegetarian? The answer is no And also no.
Fact is, most cheeses use a product called rennet to help form the curds. We’d love to tell you where rennet’s from, but trust us, you don’t want to know. Let’s just say it’s an “animal by-product” The good news is we don’t use animal rennet. Zero, Nada, Never. We use only vegetarian acceptable rennet and let it perform its magic. Our aged cheeses hold up beautifully, becoming even more delicious and interesting as they age. It may take a bit more time but we’re not in a great big hurry and we think you’ll agree CheesyGirl cheese is worth the wait.”
