  Hoop cheese - Food & Drink - Recipes24 Net - recipes, cooking, cookbooks and more
Hoop Cheese is a firm, dry cottage cheese, similar to farmer?s cheese in that most of the liquid has been pressed out.
Hoop cheese is difficult to find commercially in the United States, due to the difficulty of automating the manufacturing process.
It was once so popular, however, that a device called a hoop cheese cutter was manufactured and used in general stores during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Cheese was created to store excess milk in a form that would not spoil as rapidly as fresh milk (in a sense, cheese is a controlled spoilage of milk).
The longer the cheeses are left to ripen, the stronger the aroma, which is the inspiration behind the phrase, “It is not cheese that smells of feet, it is feet that smell of cheese.” Most of the aromatics will ripen into soft, pungent cheeses; however, some aromatics are firm cheeses that will never go soft.

The band has been known to toss hoops into the audience during shows since the mid-'90s, and FOCs ("Friends of Cheese") were key seeds of the American hooping community.
