Hook's World Champion Colby is a washed curd cheese. This is the traditional way of making Colby and gives the cheese little tiny openings and a sweeter flavor than a cheddar. Washing the curd washes the lactose or milk sugar off of the curd. In traditional cheddar the lactose is not washed off and the starter bacteria that we add feed on the milk sugars changing the cheese to give it a more acidic flavor.

If you can not find the Brand Hook Cheese in your store...ask for hook cheddar cheese at the fine cheese or meat market.

Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried Green Tomatoes go back a long way in my family history.When we had too many tomatoes turning ripe red we will start picking the green ones and place them in the refrigerator until we got ready to fried them up. Keeping green tomatoes in the refrigerator will help keep them from turning red fast.

I like my Fried Green tomatoes half green and half red with a little batter on them. The batter gives the tomatoes a little more body. So when I eat them with other food on my plate, the fried green tomatoes can hold up and want tear a part.

  A great tip: season the tomatoes and set a side. this will bring out a great taste!!
