Rumiano Cheese Review + Cheesy Mexican Casserole Recipe

Let's face it most people like cheese. Okay, LOVE cheese. Cheese is an amazing tasting topping and the star of so many dishes we love. Think quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese ravioli, cheese pizza, dips, sauces, and so much more. Cheese is not only tasty but it also gives you much needed nutrients like calcium and protein plus a few you didn't even know about. Cheese also helps you get your daily requirement of zinc, phosphorus, vitamin A, and B12. Cool, huh?

Unfortunately, not all cheeses are made equal. The Rumiano Cheese Company has a long history of being in the cheese business. Since the 1930's they have been perfecting their cheeses and now offer so much variety compared to just their famous Aged Dry Jack Cheese that started it all.

Rumiano was the first cheese company in the United States to receive Non-GMO Project Verification. They receive all their milk supply from well-established dairy farmers that ensure the milk is free from artificial hormones, the cows are grass fed and pasture raised.

Rumiano Cheese has over 30% higher Omega 3 fatty acids and over 25% higher conjugated linoleic acid. These very important fatty acids help support your cardiovascular system. Who knew cheese could help your heart!?

I personally love Rumiano Cheese. Anytime I make a dish with cheese in it, my husband ends up stealing half of it before I get a chance to use it. It was no different when I made my Cheesy Mexican Casserole.

If you are looking for a better cheese I highly recommend Rumiano. It's SO much better than just plain ole' bagged cheese! You can find it at select Whole Food Markets, other natural food stores nationwide, or in bulk on Amazon.
