Where can you buy Cooper sharp cheese?

Answer 1

Schreiber Foods, Inc.
Green Bay, WI

Dad used to be a foreman at one of the Cooper aging factories in Phila, PA. Back in the 50's & 60's, Cooper and Clearfield cheese was produced in Clearfield, PA and aged at various warehouses throughout PA. Don't know how they do it now, but when I was a child (brmflchten years ago), I often went down to his work and watched the different stages in the process. 25# wheels were aged over a long period, and one of Dad's jobs was to periodically take a core sample and taste it for quality.
We ALWAYS had a "cub" wheel (5#) at the house for sandwiching or snacking.

It's only available in the northeastern states. Most any grocery store or country store in Northeast Pennsylvania carries it. But I think it's available in New England and probably as far south as Maryland, but that's probably about it. Been trying to get my hands on it here in California for years but the only way is to have my family ship it to me.

I'm in Florida and found the same problem. Just found a place on line to order it. Check related links.

I also live in Fla. and miss Cooper Sharp, but alas, I just came accross it at BJ's in Jensen Beach, Fla. deli department.
