***Complimentary product received in exchange for a honest review***
What is it about dairy that makes people beeline it for the cheese station? Does it have to do with all of the varied textures -- smooth, crumbly, creamy, dry, hard? Is it the extensive range of flavors -- pungent parmesan, mild ricotta, briny feta, rich goat cheese? What is it that speaks to the very depth of our taste buds’ soul? One thing is for sure: when the pinnacle of taste and quality unite, like in Karoun Dairies’ 100 -- yes, 100! -- different types of specialty cheeses, there’s no sauntering to the table.

Apparently, just a little feta goes a long way. But, the universe of
delicious, nutritious cheese is so much bigger than just the familiar
genres like feta. So which type do you choose? Fortunately for your
taste buds, all of Karoun’s dairy products are free of unnatural
thickeners, stabilizers, fillers, and the rBST growth hormone, so your
health-attuned conscience can give in to your yen. But, if you’re really
not sure how to decide, here are some nutrition-packed mouth waterers
to get you started:
Karoun’s
Goat Basket Feta’s are hand pressed and made with pasteurized goat
milk, salt, and non-animal Kosher rennet. Goat cheese happens to be
lower in fat, calories, and cholesterol than cow’s mil.
As well as higher in protein and easily digestible; so many
lactose-intolerant dairy lovers are able to easily process goat cheese
Karoun’s Goat Basket Feta is the perfect addition to salads, added as
the finishing touch to gourmet soups, or a star player when crumbled
onto some tasty pizza. Truly, with a cheese this versatile, the
possibilities are endless.
Paneer is a firm, pale yellow cheese that, like goat cheese, is high in protein, vitamin B12, potassium, and calciumJust one serving of Karoun’s Gopi Paneer delivers 20% of your daily
value for calcium (based on a 2,000 calorie diet). Paneer is an Indian
cheese that is commonly curried with vegetables. It can also be
marinated, barbecued, and used in sweet desserts. . . yum!
Queso
fresco is the most popular cheese in Latin cuisine because its light,
savory flavor enhances just about any dish. Usually sprinkled on top of
meals like parmesan or stuffed into chilies, it is another high protein
source and contains loads of calcium
This delightful, light cheese is perfect for summer time gatherings if
you want to add a hint of salty and buttery flavors to your meal.

My Thoughts
I love my dairy and Karoun gives me a variety of products to satisfy a multitude of cravings. One of our favorite movie snacks are cheese with crackers. Karoun Queso Fresco was the perfect compliment to our flavored crackers. Its packed with flavor with a creamy texture that's easy to love. I also used the Gopi Paneer Cooking cheese with crackers because, to he honest, I have no clue how to cook Indian food, but this cheese was awesome too.
We enjoyed a traditional Greek Salad one night with all the fixings, including the amazing Goat Feta cheese from Kouron. Made with real goat milk, this quality cheese melts in your mouth and makes any salad tasty.
Kefir Speadable cheese was a whole knew experience for me. Its like a yogurt and cheese in one and can he eaten in lots of ways. I tried it on bread, on crackers, and right from the container, and it was definitely a delightful treat my whole family enjoyed.
Last but not least,we tried their Greek Yogurt in the honey variety. I didn't think I'd like honey flavored yogurt, but it actually tasted much better than I expected. Its nice and thick and made with 100% pure honey that goes down very easily.
These are only a few examples of the cheeses and other dairy goodies you can try from Karoun. They have over 100 different cheeses available. If you want to indulge your senses, look for them today in the dairy section of your local market.
