I know it’s just coloring – annatto, I think – but I really prefer “white” cheese to “yellow” cheese. And generally I have a choice. But lately I’ve been buying cheese made with 2% milk, and it only comes in a weird orangey-yellow color. I just think it looks unnatural, and it makes me think of plastic. (Just so we’re clear, as some readers of this blog apparently take me very seriously, this is totally my own hang-up, please don’t take offense if you prefer your cheese to be yellow.) So I guess I have a choice between healthy or aesthetically pleasing? That’s just not fair.
Gosh, if that’s the worst thing about my life right now, I guess I’m in pretty good shape!
strangely, my sister kristen, when asked what kind of cheese she wanted on her sandwich today, wanted american cheese, but only if it were white. i guess you’re not alone in your preferences. :)
