I make my own kefir cheese. It has the consistency between sour cream and cream cheese. The probiotic benefit is amazing. For $6/half gallon, I can make better probiotics than in stores, and cheaper. I use Organic Valley Grassmilk (good stuff!). It's non-homogenized, which is good. Yes, it's Pasteurized, but it's not Ultra Pasteurized. It's the closest thing to Raw Milk I can find in the grocery store. If there's something better, let me know.
Wow I have raw goat milk... Would LOVE to know how to make that kefir cheese! Like... Where to get the grains, how long ferment, then strain in cloth... Etc..?
@@Kbmaas I'm jealous, they don't allow raw milk in my state. I got my grains on amazon ~$15. You definitely want live grains, not powdered. Strain the grains out with a nylon strainer to make kefir milk. Never let metal touch your kefir. Then strain with a cheese cloth to make yogurt/cheese. For that last step I use a combination of the strainer & cheese cloth, versus others will make a ball w/ the cheese cloth. At first I was fermenting every 24 hours. When grains are new they will need this process to grow. Eventually you can slow down. Now I only ferment 1/2 gallon once a week (6 days in the fridge + 24hrs on the shelf). This is probably THE best youtube instructional video. They also a link to the grains on amazon. th-cam.com/video/1AXAOFZzUTI/w-d-xo.html
I've made kefir cheese, it's fantastic! If you use cream, it separates into cheese and cultured butter. Try adding some honey to the milk before culturing, it makes some wonderful tasting cheese.
I have always thought pecorino romano was better than parm reggiano. It’s delicious and a great price at TJs indeed. I also buy block feta from TJs. Its imported from Greece and so very good in a traditional spanakotiropita (spanakopita). Im not a cheese lover but this is a very good video. Thank you.
I was raised on unpasteurized milk and cheese (I'm Irish, my grandparents were farmers, plenty of grassfed cows and free milk because of that). I developed a serious case of lactose intolerance because of it - before the age of two. Raw milk is far stronger and creamier than pasteurized milk. It's delicious but a word of warning: sometimes it's pasteurized for a reason and unpasteurized milk and dairy may not suitable for everyone.
Mel I am finding out that wheat and peanut butter affects everyone negatively but most just don't know it yet. So it doesn't surprise me about dairy. That being said, it's pasteurized to kill any health benefits and is why they add synthetic vit D. All of our food has been messed with and it isn't done for our benefit.
@@BobbyParrish It affects EVERYONE and by the time they realize it, it will be too late. "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food," is not just a quaint old saying.
@@VickiTakacs. hey there, it's pasteurized so that we don't get salmonella, e.coli, campylobacteria, etc. Not everything is a big conspiracy by big pharma. Unless you suck milk right from a cow's teats and have the digestive system and immunity of a calf, you may get sick from drinking unpasteurized milk, especially if it stays in the temperature danger zone for a long time. And another thing, calcium cannot be absorbed into the body to form into bones without the presence of vitamin d. And no, gluten and peanuts are not poison. Maybe only for the very tiny percentage of humans allergic to them, but not all.
I am so impressed with your research and your dedication to finding the best healthiest food out there, for us consumers. This video on cheeses was a HUGE eye opener for me. My eating habits are about to change. I so very much appreciate you posting it for all of us to enjoy and benefit from. Thank-you. Zee Mitchell Ottawa, Ontario Canada
I grew up on a dairy farm. Our cows were mostly grass fed with a bucket of mixed grain provided twice a day during milking time. During winter the cows grazed on a winter grass pasture and hay. Each day we had fresh milk to drink without homogenization or pasteurization.
I have heard Bobby say before he uses Vega but I think he needs to do more research on his protein powders, for instance, go check out www.cleanlabelproject.org/protein-powder/ because many powders have metals in them that are toxic and Vega does not rank well on the list.
I absolutely love these videos and educating myself! But at the same time it makes me feel like a bad mom because I can't afford to buy every single thing organic and grass-fed there is just no way. My husband works but I am a student right now with three kids. Hopefully one day
Keep that head straight! Your kids will be able to be taught this information as soon as needed and will value that understanding later on. I grew up in a similar situation and as soon as I had to shop for myself I had all the knowledge when the time came. That’s much more valuable then unknowingly being able to feed your child organic food and never teaching them🔥💎
Can you make a video on nuts? I have been buying nuts (the bulk version where you scoop your own) at Walmart but not sure if they are good quality or not!
As a cheeseaholic, this video has been extremely helpful and eye opening.... saved it. So glad I found your channel! A wealth of good information. Thank you!
I bought the Great Value string cheese mentioned at 6:50, except the Bobby Approved app says it’s not approved. I already opened it, now I don’t know what to do with it.
Does the rule about “full fat dairy” go across the board for all dairy products, like cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, etc? Thank you for explaining the many reasons *why* to aim for organic / Grassfed products.
I can see that no one answered you back Noelle Peterson, so I thought I would say that I'm pretty sure the whole fat for yogurt and cottage cheese and all of that is an absolute yes. Because you are getting jipped when you buy low fat. And like Bobby said about whole fat milk that it is having more nutrients in it and we need that whole fat if we're going to have dairy products. Just saw your comment and thought somebody needed to say something to you. Hope you're doing well sincerely TAMMIE 🙋🏼
Loving all this great info Bobby! Found your vids 3 weeks ago and been binging them all don't Ive seen them all yet but I think I got a great start! Just turned 40 and my health has been worst it's ever been this year! I work out almost everyday and never lose weight. I'm ready to turn this ship around in a big way. I'm already loving so many of your suggestions! I havnt eaten peanut butter in years cause it always made me sick to my stomach. I tried the creamy richards peanut butter only ingredient being peanuts! On the sprouted power bread it is soo good! Does NOT make me feel sick at all! Soo crazy. I rarely eat fast food because my body literally rejects it. I would eat the chick-Fil- a crispy sandwich and I would have the worst reaction from it like a Gerd asthma attack where I can't breath and have to keep coughing til it subsides! Dr's think I'm crazy when I explain it. Then I watch your video on it other day that says they put double MSG in it! Explains a lot to me. My body cannot take this bs they are putting in the food! So thank you so much! Your a trailblazer of our time. Will continue to follow and pass along this great information to those who want it.
Thanks for the informative video! I love Annie’s Mac n cheese for my grandkids, but had no idea they made grass fed! Will be looking for that. My grandkids love Mac n cheese. I buy pecorino Romano from Costco. It’s a huge chunk, but it lasts a long time. I personally only eat sheep’s or goats milk cheese because it’s easier to digest. My dietitian recommended it years ago. My functional doc showed me in my blood test results, several times, that I have inflammation when I eat anything made from cows milk. Actually can see a certain kind of white cell rise in number-which is inflammation. I’m a science nerd and fascinated by this stuff. :)
Just to let you know Annatto can be a trigger for people with migraines. I always get white cheddar. Really enjoying your vids! I'm checking everything at the grocery store now. Thank you :)
First of all THANK YOU! SECONDLY: my disdain for youtube is real! My news feed is the same stuff day after day when there is content like this that I could have been seeing!! I have friends who are lactose intolerant. Your content will help them! For the record, I LOVE DUBLINER!!! and Kerrygold in general. So much info for a CHEESEHEAD that I can't wait to wait this video again! I wish you would have discussed the Merts spread though... and for that matter cheeseballs (not the orange ones) the cheeseball and cracker kind! Thank you again!!!
I see a lot of cheeses here(I’m in Canada) with Calcium Chloride.. a quick google search says it’s really bad for your stomach. What are your thoughts on this? I’m trying to select better cheese for me and my family. Also, the unpasteurized milk in cheese.. is this safe for young children(under 5)? Thanks!
Bobby, my 11 year old granddaughter wanted me to buy Velveta cheese for her to eat (I’m a pescatarian), and I nearly had a Fred Sanford heart attack‼️😂 I told her NO, and I explained to her why not: it’s a horrible processed glob of nastiness! I share your videos with her and my family! I appreciate you and Art very much; keep up the great work‼️Can you do a video about plant based“Simple” crackers? They use bad oils, too. And also non-gas BBQ grills using wood chunks/chips only vs. charcoal. And gas grills are pure cancer‼️
Please tell me which sour cream is better to buy and which baking flour is better to buy and which corn flour is better to buy, please, I watch your show all the time. I'm interested in these products: sour cream, baking flour and cornmeal. Thank you Good luck and prosperity to your channel.
First of all, I love your videos Bobby. I am subscribed and recommend you to my friends. Secondly, on this occasion, I have to take you off your high horse for a moment. You kind of dismissed Parmigiano Reggiano pretty quickly. You should highlight more "Parmigiano Reggiano". This cheese is great on the stomach, and in Italy, for example, it's one of the few items doctors say you can eat when having stomach troubles. Parmigiano is great alone, grated fresh on pasta recipes and as an ingredient in several recipes (many, many Italian recipes have Parmigiano in them). Not only does it have a great aged flavor -- but it's versatile, good for you, and just simply wonderful. So, it may be more expensive, but oh so worth it. In the video you've compared Romano to Parmigiano, but it's worth noting that they don't substitute each other (simply put, they are different flavors). One last thing, where was the fresh mozzarella in water?? I mean, that is a lovely cheese to eat, like in a caprese salad, or alone. :-) Some examples of nice ones are: (1) Galbani Bocconcini [in Safeway or Bashas, where I live] and (2) Garofalo Mozzarella di Bufala campana (Water buffalo mozzarella) [in Costco, where I live]. But, there are many more types, sizes & shapes, and in different stores there are different brands, of course. My request to you is: Can you do an entire episode on quality Italian Cheeses?
Good show, Bobby & Art! Just subscribed after watching several of your vids. Thanks for supporting Organics ~~ have been bringing bags of organics to my family home and little by little, they are starting to get off the "processed" poison. 👏👍👍👍
I use the channel to be educated on affordable organic products or healthy alternatives. If that means that, I can't afford a healthy option of a certain food, either I don't have that food at all or have it very rarely. Is it fair? No. But I value my health over my tastebuds. Nothing is essentially "cheaper" because you either pay for it in groceries or in hospital bills.
I KNOW RIGHT! EVERYBODY THAT IS PUSHING THESE HIGH QUALITY FOODS ARE MOSTLY FROM CALIFORNIA!!! ALSO THERE AIR QUALITY SUCKS OUT WEST AND THE PACIFIC OCEAN IS FULL OF FUKUSHIMA FALLOUT FROM THAT NUKE PLANT!!!
May I make a suggestion?. When you are at a certain Supermarket / grocery store when you are reviewing for example mayonnaise and you are at Walmart and you pick the ones that you like and the ones to stay away from. Can you also suggest the best one at that store that we should buy because some of us can't get to the other stores where you suggest that they have the best ones at. I think a lot of us would appreciate that. Thank you so much for all that you do for us.
Could you guys some day do a healthy child’s lunchbox meal? I TRULY appreciate your very informative and interesting videos! Best cooking channel on TH-cam.
I eat cucumber, fermented beets, raw onion, pickled ginger, and goat cheese. This is good. You can add raw cabbage. You use the goat cheese like you use wasabi, little at a time.
You used the aged Sargento cheddar for you pizza a few weeks ago and raved how good it was. I went out and bought that to start using. Is that okay? Or no?
I wish they had organic sargento...its really good flavor and melty..but ive tons lots of research lately...and I like to grate my own. I should have known that when we filmed that video 3 months ago..my bad!
One that you forgot to mention is to NEVER EVER get that parmesan cheese in that green shaker. I stopped getting that stuff about 15 years ago but about three or four years ago I read that a significant portion of that stuff is wood pulp.
Professional cheesemonger and cheese educator here. Lots of great tips for the average shopper. Thank you for taking the time to do this! But here's a suggestion for everyone: look at who your local cheesemakers are and support local businesses by buying local cheese! (Your state may have a local cheese guild or cheese association that will help you figure out who those fine folks are.) It may be more expensive, but it helps strengthen your local food economy--and during COVID, we've all seen how the national and global food chain broke down so easily. Plus you might be able to go visit their farm or creamery, so that you will really know where your food is coming from! Many small creameries can't afford the exorbitant costs associated with becoming certified organic, so only buying organic instead of buying local may mean that you are missing out on cheesemakers who are doing things right but can't afford to stick a label on their cheeses to prove it. And at some point, all mass-produced cheeses are the same, even with the organic or grass-fed label slapped on them. (For what it's worth, corn is technically a grass, so grass-fed cheeses may be from cows who received a supplement of corn. That's common knowledge in the cheese industry.) And to be totally clear: sheep and goat's milks DO contain lactose. ANY cheese that is old enough to have grown a rind is going to be virtually free of lactose.
Awesome! I eat this stuff up. I’m very interested in foods and how they’re made and how they effect my body. Love your content! And thank you for helping break down ingredients.
I've been buying Friendship cottage cheese because it's so simple in ingredients but it does have calcium dioxide and I don't know if it's grass fed. It's made in a small town in southern NY that has been in the cheese business for 150 years.
I use Saturday or Sunday and make my own from all organic bones, cheaper and too easy, buying all organic bone broth is really expensive for such easy to make broth
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish yeah, I definitely buy Kerrygold butter, mostly because it’s better tasting than anything else. I’ll never skimp on that. Once anyone tries Kerrygold butter you never want to go back to regular. “Everything else is crap” ( Irish ☘️ voice ) lol
Robert Weber... when I found out I was diabetic I discovered that while reading labels. I shred all of our own now. My husband made me laugh in the beginning because he asked if I was buying some fancy brand because it was melting better on his pizza and tasted so good lol
I was literally reaching for my laughing cow pepper jack cheese for a snack w my cucumbers 😏😭😩 man I love it.... I still ate it [too late to turn back] 😝.. but I will keep in mind🤢 great video!!!
I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery in 2014 and eating has been a nightmare since. I lost down to 98lbs from 147lbs and almost died. It has even caused my skin and hair to dry out terribly,and a whole host of other problems. I have to be really careful of what I eat now, and dairy is one of the biggest things that trigger my stomach issues. I've gained my most of my weight back now, but I'm left with having to watch everything I eat. I really appreciate these videos you make, and I share them with my husband because he has to do our shopping since my surgery and illness caused me to be disabled and homebound.
Thanks for the video Bobby! Have been on a quest for the perfect, healthiest cheese. Any pasteurized dairy loses crucial nutrients and enzymes. Raw grass fed organic seems to be the best option, but very limited choices in the store. There seems to be a lot of labeling tricks on how you can claim "raw" dairy. According to USDA anything cooked below 161 degrees can be considered raw even though at that temp, it is sub-pasteurized. Hence companies like Organic Valley get away with calling their cheese "raw" when it really isn't. Was really disappointed to read about that. Best solution: Buy from trusted farmers, ask about their process, and/or make cheese yourself.
I’ve been waiting over 90 days for an appointment with the nutritionist. Newly diagnosed diabetic, and Bobby has made it so easy for me they have discontinued my insulin injections for oral medications! Thank you so much!

I make my own kefir cheese. It has the consistency between sour cream and cream cheese. The probiotic benefit is amazing. For $6/half gallon, I can make better probiotics than in stores, and cheaper. I use Organic Valley Grassmilk (good stuff!). It's non-homogenized, which is good. Yes, it's Pasteurized, but it's not Ultra Pasteurized. It's the closest thing to Raw Milk I can find in the grocery store. If there's something better, let me know.
Wow I have raw goat milk... Would LOVE to know how to make that kefir cheese! Like... Where to get the grains, how long ferment, then strain in cloth... Etc..?
@@Kbmaas I'm jealous, they don't allow raw milk in my state. I got my grains on amazon ~$15. You definitely want live grains, not powdered. Strain the grains out with a nylon strainer to make kefir milk. Never let metal touch your kefir. Then strain with a cheese cloth to make yogurt/cheese. For that last step I use a combination of the strainer & cheese cloth, versus others will make a ball w/ the cheese cloth.
At first I was fermenting every 24 hours. When grains are new they will need this process to grow. Eventually you can slow down. Now I only ferment 1/2 gallon once a week (6 days in the fridge + 24hrs on the shelf).
This is probably THE best youtube instructional video. They also a link to the grains on amazon. th-cam.com/video/1AXAOFZzUTI/w-d-xo.html
I've made kefir cheese, it's fantastic! If you use cream, it separates into cheese and cultured butter. Try adding some honey to the milk before culturing, it makes some wonderful tasting cheese.
Such a damn good video as always Bobby!

This guy is doing incredibly amazing things! What knowledge he posseses!
I have always thought pecorino romano was better than parm reggiano. It’s delicious and a great price at TJs indeed. I also buy block feta from TJs. Its imported from Greece and so very good in a traditional spanakotiropita (spanakopita). Im not a cheese lover but this is a very good video. Thank you.
I was raised on unpasteurized milk and cheese (I'm Irish, my grandparents were farmers, plenty of grassfed cows and free milk because of that). I developed a serious case of lactose intolerance because of it - before the age of two. Raw milk is far stronger and creamier than pasteurized milk. It's delicious but a word of warning: sometimes it's pasteurized for a reason and unpasteurized milk and dairy may not suitable for everyone.
Mel I am finding out that wheat and peanut butter affects everyone negatively but most just don't know it yet. So it doesn't surprise me about dairy. That being said, it's pasteurized to kill any health benefits and is why they add synthetic vit D. All of our food has been messed with and it isn't done for our benefit.
@@VickiTakacs. i think many ingredients affect many people...and they dont realize it ; )
@@BobbyParrish It affects EVERYONE and by the time they realize it, it will be too late. "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food," is not just a quaint old saying.
@@VickiTakacs. hey there, it's pasteurized so that we don't get salmonella, e.coli, campylobacteria, etc. Not everything is a big conspiracy by big pharma. Unless you suck milk right from a cow's teats and have the digestive system and immunity of a calf, you may get sick from drinking unpasteurized milk, especially if it stays in the temperature danger zone for a long time. And another thing, calcium cannot be absorbed into the body to form into bones without the presence of vitamin d.
And no, gluten and peanuts are not poison. Maybe only for the very tiny percentage of humans allergic to them, but not all.
Mel Bullshit. It is pasteurized for all of the wrong reasons.
Nice to see you’re not at some obscure grocery store where the recommended products are unavailable to those in rural, fly-over country.
i love that term..fly over!!! god bless America...and cheese..just not kraft cheese ;)
Good video
I am so impressed with your research and your dedication to finding the best healthiest food out there, for us consumers. This video on cheeses was a HUGE eye opener for me. My eating habits are about to change. I so very much appreciate you posting it for all of us to enjoy and benefit from. Thank-you.

I grew up on a dairy farm. Our cows were mostly grass fed with a bucket of mixed grain provided twice a day during milking time. During winter the cows grazed on a winter grass pasture and hay. Each day we had fresh milk to drink without homogenization or pasteurization.
And it tastes so good!
Just want to say thank you so much for showing me the good healthy foods. God bless you and your family.❤
Next video on: Collagens and vitamin supplements or Protein powders!!!!
Good suggestions. The collagen is currently on sale at Costco.
definitely protein powders
Jasmine Saffell ...now...pand...m.. ..spek...
Pea protein is best.(without maltodextrin)
Eat eggs for your collagen.
Good to know Aldi has organic cheese. I most of my shopping there.
@Liz Lee
Curious to know what their prices are on everyday cheddar that's organic, etc.
Do they carry merlot organic?
I love the Aldi's closest to me. I'll be glad when it's open again as it got hit by a tornado on Memorial Day.
How can you stand shopping with scumbags?
I don't recall shopping with you.
Here's a suggestion for you if it hasn't been done yet. Protein powder supplements. 👈
I have heard Bobby say before he uses Vega but I think he needs to do more research on his protein powders, for instance, go check out www.cleanlabelproject.org/protein-powder/ because many powders have metals in them that are toxic and Vega does not rank well on the list.
He uses garden of life plant based protein. You can get it on amazon.
I prefer to get my protein from food, not from powders.
Diann T Yes me as well. And I’m not feeding my 13 year old powder
Multi-collagen or something like Amy Myers Paleo Protein. Clean, clean, clean.
NOT a cheesy Bobby video but a Superior Bobby Informative Spectrum of Cheese tidbits that everyone should know!
Look at those 2019 prices. I’d give anything to go back to that year and do something to prevent everything that has happened to destroy me since then
I absolutely love these videos and educating myself! But at the same time it makes me feel like a bad mom because I can't afford to buy every single thing organic and grass-fed there is just no way. My husband works but I am a student right now with three kids. Hopefully one day
Keep that head straight! Your kids will be able to be taught this information as soon as needed and will value that understanding later on. I grew up in a similar situation and as soon as I had to shop for myself I had all the knowledge when the time came. That’s much more valuable then unknowingly being able to feed your child organic food and never teaching them🔥💎
Can you make a video on nuts? I have been buying nuts (the bulk version where you scoop your own) at Walmart but not sure if they are good quality or not!
Walnuts, macadamia, pecans are what i stick to. I like roasted pumpkin seeds too
I heard almonds are super good too but there are so many different variation like pasteurized, raw, unbleached, etc. We need a tutorial on nuts.
As a cheeseaholic, this video has been extremely helpful and eye opening.... saved it.
So glad I found your channel! A wealth of good information.
Thank you!
I'm an Alcoholic and I don't find this helpful at all. There's no white wine in the cheese.
@@tommybro5313 😆
I bought the Great Value string cheese mentioned at 6:50, except the Bobby Approved app says it’s not approved. I already opened it, now I don’t know what to do with it.
Does the rule about “full fat dairy” go across the board for all dairy products, like cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, etc? Thank you for explaining the many reasons *why* to aim for organic / Grassfed products.
I can see that no one answered you back Noelle Peterson, so I thought I would say that I'm pretty sure the whole fat for yogurt and cottage cheese and all of that is an absolute yes. Because you are getting jipped when you buy low fat. And like Bobby said about whole fat milk that it is having more nutrients in it and we need that whole fat if we're going to have dairy products. Just saw your comment and thought somebody needed to say something to you. Hope you're doing well sincerely TAMMIE 🙋🏼
This was the more laid-back Bobby of a couple years ago... 😎. Calm, well spoken... Less stressed...
I'm hooked on this channel, I've watched like 10 videos back to back, I want to be free from arthritis
Basically, just buy organic cheese. There i saved you 16mins of your life
Thank you 👍
Lol
I know buffalo mozzarella is the best but what are good block mozzarella cheeses to buy for fresh grating.
I love your grocery store videos. They are the BEST!!! Keep them coming!!!
Loving all this great info Bobby! Found your vids 3 weeks ago and been binging them all don't Ive seen them all yet but I think I got a great start! Just turned 40 and my health has been worst it's ever been this year! I work out almost everyday and never lose weight. I'm ready to turn this ship around in a big way. I'm already loving so many of your suggestions! I havnt eaten peanut butter in years cause it always made me sick to my stomach. I tried the creamy richards peanut butter only ingredient being peanuts! On the sprouted power bread it is soo good! Does NOT make me feel sick at all! Soo crazy. I rarely eat fast food because my body literally rejects it. I would eat the chick-Fil- a crispy sandwich and I would have the worst reaction from it like a Gerd asthma attack where I can't breath and have to keep coughing til it subsides! Dr's think I'm crazy when I explain it. Then I watch your video on it other day that says they put double MSG in it! Explains a lot to me. My body cannot take this bs they are putting in the food! So thank you so much! Your a trailblazer of our time. Will continue to follow and pass along this great information to those who want it.
Can you please do a 'which snacks to buy and avoid for kids'?
That would be a very informative video 😊❤️❤️
Avoid snacking. you be better off
Atouriina Yes that would be a good one
Arif Mesfin Do you have kids? That’s not easy when you do. They need that energy to move around.
Daisy brand has very few ingredients cottage cheese and other products
So which one is healthier, pasteurized or non pasteurized
Thanks for the informative video! I love Annie’s Mac n cheese for my grandkids, but had no idea they made grass fed! Will be looking for that. My grandkids love Mac n cheese. I buy pecorino Romano from Costco. It’s a huge chunk, but it lasts a long time. I personally only eat sheep’s or goats milk cheese because it’s easier to digest. My dietitian recommended it years ago. My functional doc showed me in my blood test results, several times, that I have inflammation when I eat anything made from cows milk. Actually can see a certain kind of white cell rise in number-which is inflammation. I’m a science nerd and fascinated by this stuff. :)
Just to let you know Annatto can be a trigger for people with migraines. I always get white cheddar. Really enjoying your vids! I'm checking everything at the grocery store now. Thank you :)
First of all THANK YOU! SECONDLY: my disdain for youtube is real! My news feed is the same stuff day after day when there is content like this that I could have been seeing!! I have friends who are lactose intolerant. Your content will help them! For the record, I LOVE DUBLINER!!! and Kerrygold in general. So much info for a CHEESEHEAD that I can't wait to wait this video again! I wish you would have discussed the Merts spread though... and for that matter cheeseballs (not the orange ones) the cheeseball and cracker kind! Thank you again!!!
Thank u Arturo & Roberto y que es question Guyere? Are there still white cheeses& GOLD ONES?
GRACIAS. Martina
I see a lot of cheeses here(I’m in Canada) with Calcium Chloride.. a quick google search says it’s really bad for your stomach. What are your thoughts on this? I’m trying to select better cheese for me and my family. Also, the unpasteurized milk in cheese.. is this safe for young children(under 5)? Thanks!
I have had the violife cheese and it is actually very good. My go to for mac and cheese over daiya.
Trader Joe’s organic Gouda, yummy
Bobby, my 11 year old granddaughter wanted me to buy Velveta cheese for her to eat (I’m a pescatarian), and I nearly had a Fred Sanford heart attack‼️😂 I told her NO, and I explained to her why not: it’s a horrible processed glob of nastiness! I share your videos with her and my family! I appreciate you and Art very much; keep up the great work‼️Can you do a video about plant based“Simple” crackers? They use bad oils, too. And also non-gas BBQ grills using wood chunks/chips only vs. charcoal. And gas grills are pure cancer‼️
OMG....'Fred Sanford heart attack'! How many people are left on earth that know what that means? What a blast from the past! Loved it!
Please tell me which sour cream is better to buy and which baking flour is better to buy and which corn flour is better to buy, please, I watch your show all the time. I'm interested in these products: sour cream, baking flour and cornmeal. Thank you Good luck and prosperity to your channel.
I always buy a kilo old Gouda. Sometimes (Leidse) cumin cheese. But I’m Dutch.
First of all, I love your videos Bobby. I am subscribed and recommend you to my friends. Secondly, on this occasion, I have to take you off your high horse for a moment. You kind of dismissed Parmigiano Reggiano pretty quickly. You should highlight more "Parmigiano Reggiano". This cheese is great on the stomach, and in Italy, for example, it's one of the few items doctors say you can eat when having stomach troubles. Parmigiano is great alone, grated fresh on pasta recipes and as an ingredient in several recipes (many, many Italian recipes have Parmigiano in them). Not only does it have a great aged flavor -- but it's versatile, good for you, and just simply wonderful. So, it may be more expensive, but oh so worth it. In the video you've compared Romano to Parmigiano, but it's worth noting that they don't substitute each other (simply put, they are different flavors).
One last thing, where was the fresh mozzarella in water?? I mean, that is a lovely cheese to eat, like in a caprese salad, or alone. :-) Some examples of nice ones are: (1) Galbani Bocconcini [in Safeway or Bashas, where I live] and (2) Garofalo Mozzarella di Bufala campana
(Water buffalo mozzarella) [in Costco, where I live]. But, there are many more types, sizes & shapes, and in different stores there are different brands, of course.
My request to you is: Can you do an entire episode on quality Italian Cheeses?
Good show, Bobby & Art! Just subscribed after watching several of your vids. Thanks for supporting Organics ~~ have been bringing bags of organics to my family home and little by little, they are starting to get off the "processed" poison. 👏👍👍👍
all these organics are going to incinerate my wallet. Lol
I use the channel to be educated on affordable organic products or healthy alternatives. If that means that, I can't afford a healthy option of a certain food, either I don't have that food at all or have it very rarely.
Is it fair? No. But I value my health over my tastebuds. Nothing is essentially "cheaper" because you either pay for it in groceries or in hospital bills.
The price is not too bad you pay around the same in the netherlands for that
I KNOW RIGHT! EVERYBODY THAT IS PUSHING THESE HIGH QUALITY FOODS ARE MOSTLY FROM CALIFORNIA!!! ALSO THERE AIR QUALITY SUCKS OUT WEST AND THE PACIFIC OCEAN IS FULL OF FUKUSHIMA FALLOUT FROM THAT NUKE PLANT!!!
Spend more for organic and eliminate something bad for you.
most of the cows for tillamook are fed grass. they just dont go out of the way to spend the extra money to be usda organic certified.
You are Amazing Bobby!! Thank you soo much for sharing all this healthy options with us. Piece and Mad Love! ✌️💜🌹💜

I love you guys thanks for trying to keep us healthy !
May I make a suggestion?. When you are at a certain Supermarket / grocery store when you are reviewing for example mayonnaise and you are at Walmart and you pick the ones that you like and the ones to stay away from. Can you also suggest the best one at that store that we should buy because some of us can't get to the other stores where you suggest that they have the best ones at. I think a lot of us would appreciate that. Thank you so much for all that you do for us.
Good idea, see what I can do!!!!
You are so smart!! Love watching!! I definitely buy your recommendations
Could you guys some day do a healthy child’s lunchbox meal?
I TRULY appreciate your very informative and interesting videos! Best cooking channel on TH-cam.
Thank you so much specially on the cream cheese cause I wanna be eating healthy cream cheese
I eat cucumber, fermented beets, raw onion, pickled ginger, and goat cheese. This is good. You can add raw cabbage. You use the goat cheese like you use wasabi, little at a time.
You used the aged Sargento cheddar for you pizza a few weeks ago and raved how good it was. I went out and bought that to start using. Is that okay? Or no?
I wish they had organic sargento...its really good flavor and melty..but ive tons lots of research lately...and I like to grate my own. I should have known that when we filmed that video 3 months ago..my bad!
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish no worries. Just started buying and will stop. I trust you. :)
Our family thinks Sargento cheese has the least flavor and dry texture but that is just our opinion.
One that you forgot to mention is to NEVER EVER get that parmesan cheese in that green shaker. I stopped getting that stuff about 15 years ago but about three or four years ago I read that a significant portion of that stuff is wood pulp.
that is a given..but i should have mentioned it again!
He’s covered it in other videos.
Seriously!?
Kenyatta Clay Whaaaaaattttt👀👀OMGoodness! I did not know that!🤭Thank you!!!
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish u did mention in an Aldi video i remember!😃
So, so glad I live in Europe when it comes to cheese.
We
Indeed. I did not see a proper cheese in the whole video. Not even a cured cheese!
I appreciate that you get right to the information in your videos.
Where I am grated cheese is cheaper than solid. Grated cheese also has "mold inhibitor" in addition to "anti-cake agents".
Professional cheesemonger and cheese educator here. Lots of great tips for the average shopper. Thank you for taking the time to do this! But here's a suggestion for everyone: look at who your local cheesemakers are and support local businesses by buying local cheese! (Your state may have a local cheese guild or cheese association that will help you figure out who those fine folks are.) It may be more expensive, but it helps strengthen your local food economy--and during COVID, we've all seen how the national and global food chain broke down so easily. Plus you might be able to go visit their farm or creamery, so that you will really know where your food is coming from! Many small creameries can't afford the exorbitant costs associated with becoming certified organic, so only buying organic instead of buying local may mean that you are missing out on cheesemakers who are doing things right but can't afford to stick a label on their cheeses to prove it. And at some point, all mass-produced cheeses are the same, even with the organic or grass-fed label slapped on them. (For what it's worth, corn is technically a grass, so grass-fed cheeses may be from cows who received a supplement of corn. That's common knowledge in the cheese industry.) And to be totally clear: sheep and goat's milks DO contain lactose. ANY cheese that is old enough to have grown a rind is going to be virtually free of lactose.
Thanks for the additional details!
Awesome! I eat this stuff up. I’m very interested in foods and how they’re made and how they effect my body. Love your content! And thank you for helping break down ingredients.

I've been buying Friendship cottage cheese because it's so simple in ingredients but it does have calcium dioxide and I don't know if it's grass fed. It's made in a small town in southern NY that has been in the cheese business for 150 years.
I've just started to try to eat an anti inflammatory diet and have cut out dairy. Are grass fed cheeses better for an inflammatory aspect?
Do you have a video about spices? Like which ones to buy?
awesome. thanks bobby :D amazing......pls make a video on best collagen & bone broth powders to buy...that will be really great
on my list!
I use Saturday or Sunday and make my own from all organic bones, cheaper and too easy, buying all organic bone broth is really expensive for such easy to make broth
@@msbarb1Robinson true...sometimes making one is little time-consuming....so powder form becomes handy :)
Sadly, it is an affordable factor. Grass fed and organic is better for you. But, way more expensive. I buy what I can. 😭

FlavCity with Bobby Parrish yeah, I definitely buy Kerrygold butter, mostly because it’s better tasting than anything else. I’ll never skimp on that.
Once anyone tries Kerrygold butter you never want to go back to regular. “Everything else is crap” ( Irish ☘️ voice ) lol

We stay completely away from shredded cheese. CELLULOSE!! We grate our own, but in a pinch, thanks for informing us about Applegate.
Robert Weber... when I found out I was diabetic I discovered that while reading labels. I shred all of our own now. My husband made me laugh in the beginning because he asked if I was buying some fancy brand because it was melting better on his pizza and tasted so good lol

I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery in 2014 and eating has been a nightmare since. I lost down to 98lbs from 147lbs and almost died. It has even caused my skin and hair to dry out terribly,and a whole host of other problems. I have to be really careful of what I eat now, and dairy is one of the biggest things that trigger my stomach issues. I've gained my most of my weight back now, but I'm left with having to watch everything I eat. I really appreciate these videos you make, and I share them with my husband because he has to do our shopping since my surgery and illness caused me to be disabled and homebound.

Love everything I'm learning from your videos, share with my children so they give my grandkids the best.👍
Thanks for the video Bobby! Have been on a quest for the perfect, healthiest cheese. Any pasteurized dairy loses crucial nutrients and enzymes. Raw grass fed organic seems to be the best option, but very limited choices in the store. There seems to be a lot of labeling tricks on how you can claim "raw" dairy. According to USDA anything cooked below 161 degrees can be considered raw even though at that temp, it is sub-pasteurized. Hence companies like Organic Valley get away with calling their cheese "raw" when it really isn't. Was really disappointed to read about that. Best solution: Buy from trusted farmers, ask about their process, and/or make cheese yourself.
