You'll just have to get off your butt and shop around. Hoffman's cheese is junk -- "super sharp" is rather bland and anything but sharp. If you want decent stuff ("nostalgia ain't what it used to be") you might need to check out local stores and perhaps specialty shops. You'll have to spend a little more in some cases. If you're not willing to do the legwork and spend a few bucks more you have no right to complain. I get "super super sharp" (literally) for just under $8 a pound, and it's great. The same (chain) store sells up to 12 year old cheddar, albeit at a steep price. Your user info indicates you're in northern Ohio. Worst case, Heinen's which started in the Cleveland area and has several stores around there has good cheese, at a price. Seek and ye shall find!

Can't disagree there. I just bought it because it was the best stuff I could find around. I consider it like - normal. The rest of the shit is wax or something.
I used to get Kraft Olde English 800, which to me is barely cheese, but at least it has some flavor.
I didn't even know Heinens was still in business, they don't seem to advertise at all. I guess I can look online.
So what brand is this "super super sharp" of which you speak, and ddo you think Heinens would have it ? Because I am pretty sure I will seek one out.
There is one problem for me though, I hate traveling long distances. This whole friggin state is one huge construction zone. Nobody knows how to drive, and I mean that. Sure we got insurance but an accident is a PITA anyway. The way some of these assholes drive literally makes me want to take my gun on the road and start putting them out of my misery. It IS that bad. Not so much once you get out into the stix, but personally I don't want to have to drive ten miles to get beer.
I dunno. I used to go to Heinens. Thing is their stores always seemed smallish and not really fit for the market. After what I've seen in life I simply assumed they were out of business. If they're still around, thanks for the heads up.
Heinen's is definitely still in business. They opened about 3 or 4 stores in the Chicago area in recent years, including in my town, Barrington. How they're doing, I don't know, because like most people I shop around and their prices are for those who don't pay much attention to prices. The 'super super sharp' is made by a company out of Wisconsin, sold by a Wisconsin based chain. You won't get it in Cleveland, so I'd just look around for a good NY state sharp cheddar. Vermont cheddar is good, too. If you have Trader Joe's around, and chances are you do, they have good cheese, too. Good luck and eating!
