What is your favourite Tre Stelle cheese and why?
There’s no clear winner here. Your taste buds are tempted from everything from cheddar to borgonzola…
“I love Feta. Well what can I say... I am of Greek heritage and enjoy it in our salads.” – Hope Ryckman, Ontario
“Extra fine ricotta” - Anne Malinowski, Saskatchewan
“I like the crumbled Feta because it's so convenient, especially in the large size I buy from Costco.” - Pat Battles, British Columbia
“I really liked the pre-sliced deli-packaged ones (favourite being smoked cheddar) for sandwich making. The Mascarpone is terrific for numerous baking and cooking recipes. Ricotta is a must ... sorry, I can't pick a favourite!” -- Jean Graham, Newfoundland
“Mascarpone is soooooo rich that I just love it, the smoothness, the lasting texture and flavour just take my breath away.” -- Terry Anderson, Saskatchewan
“Mozzarella - extra cheesy and stringy on PIZZA.” -- Liz Moruzi, Ontario
“I like the Friulano - which I use instead of Mozzarella when a recipe calls for the latter. We like its mild and yet distinct taste in sandwiches, cheese platters, lasagnas, baked pastas, in short with most meals.” -- Lydia Schuster, Ontario

I couldn't believe how it tasted. I really enjoyed the taste of this cheese
so much that I now purchase weekly.”
- Joanne Amery, Alberta
As long as I can remember my mom has always bought your products. Our favourites
were mozzarella and ricotta. Now I buy the same for my own family.When I was
little my mom used to put ricotta on an icecream cone sprinkled with a little
sugar or sprinkles or chopped nuts. We loved it and it was a healthy treat.
- Josie Scappaticci, Ontario
For which Tre Stelle cheese would you like to see us develop a new recipe?
Feta (but not in a salad) and fast snacks are just a few of you recipe requests...
I'd like to see some variations of the classic Greek salad, using your
Feta cheese.
