I haven't been to the store since you asked your question so I will have to email you the answer when I have it. Sorry.</p>
<p>Jennifer... I know that now. In fact it is the original sour cream from Tnuva. But it is new to me (as are so many things I write about here). :-)</p>
<p>nrg... The reason I love Atkins is that I don't feel like I'm denying myself (most of the time anyway). I can have all the stuff I love: meat, cheese, eggs, cream, fish, etc. What could be bad?</p>
<p>Israel... I wouldn't go moving to Israel just for the dairy products. But if you are already thinking about it... it makes the transition that much easier.</p>
<p>Noa... Let me guess... you heard angels singing? :-)<br />

I'm a no-fat girl when it comes to weight loss, and an everything in moderation girl when it comes to maintaining and being a happy person who doesn't need to "fall off the wagon" because I feel I've been depriving myself of something. We have something in Norway called Seter rømme, which gives you that "I'm doing something evil here, but just one more heaping spoonful, I promise" feeling...it is in the sour cream dept, probably something like what you had. Divine, really. </p>jennifer commented on 'Dairy Nirvana!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503e98d988332005-11-04T09:19:25Z2008-02-14T04:40:01Zjenniferhttp://www.just-jennifer.com/David, sorry to be a sour puss, but "Shamenet Shel Pa'am" has been around for quite a while already.

And would everyone please quit wrinkling their noses at eating sour cream right out of the container! What's wrong with you people? ;)</p>
<p>Jaime, the closest thing to Israeli cottage cheese I found in the States is Bridgestone and it has an OU Heksher, at least it did 15 years ago. :) (It's the guar gum that's added to most cottage cheese that make it taste so bad, I think.)</p>Doctor Bean commented on 'Dairy Nirvana!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5505220f588342005-11-03T20:38:18Z2008-02-14T04:39:37ZDoctor Beanhttp://kerckhoff.blogspot.comMirty and Tanya said everything I was thinking better than I could.

The sour cream here is truly like custard!</p>
<p>Essie... Just for the record, my cholesterol was always in the normal range, but when I went on Atkins it dropped dramatically. I am now at the low end of the normal scale even though I eat lots of red meat, cream in my coffee, lots of oils in and on my foods, and more eggs and cheeses than you can imagine!</p>
<p>Jaime... The Milkie kosher debate continues to be waged here as well... but you should know that there is another company that makes an identical version of the milkie that is acceptable to everyone. Just another reason to move here. :-)</p>
<p>JG... When and if you ever decide to visit Israel your eyes will be opened. you will never be able to eat dairy products in the US again without thinking "what the hell is this crap?"</p>
<p>Tanya... Milk (especially skim) has lots of carbs... which is why I put medium (and even sometimes heavy) cream in my coffee. Cheeses are also fairly low in carbs (hard cheeses have less than soft).</p>
<p>Jack... Nice ad slogan but no basis in reality. You should know as well or better than most of the commenters what Israeli dairy products are all about. Sour cream with sugar or splenda is the most amazing pudding-like treat ever!</p>
<p>Elisson... You've just described my daughter's favorite breakfast. I sometimes also mix the two, but I favor the sour cream over the cottage cheese. Oh, by the way... the cottage cheese comes in 5% or 9%. I go with 9% every time. :-)</p>Elisson commented on 'Dairy Nirvana!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503e95fd88332005-11-03T15:32:51Z2008-02-14T04:39:40ZElissonhttp://elisson1.blogspot.comOy.

<p>One of my favorite dairy dinners is a bowl of cottage cheese with sour cream. With a 50:50 ratio, it's dead solid perfect, no sweetener required. Of course, a little dried fruit compote can't hurt...</p>Jack commented on 'Dairy Nirvana!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503e950788332005-11-03T15:06:51Z2008-02-14T04:39:33ZJackhttp://wwwjackbenimble.blogspot.com/California has happy cows and happy cows make better cheese/milk/etc or so the ads tell us.

<p>Have to go with Val on this one, straight sour cream just feels strange.</p>

I thought all dairy had a lot of carbs, because I've heard you can't drink milk on Atkins, so saving carbs by using splenda seemed like drinking diet coke with a whole box of oreos. </p>

I never knew Milkies weren't kosher or at least Kosher enough to be sold in the stores where I live, so whenever I get up to NY, you bet I always leave with a wk supply (ok...they are gone by the time I get back home.) As for the cottage cheese, I don't think Israeli cottage cheese has preservatives in it. I know compared to American cottage cheese, the American kind is very salty and just yucky. I am hoping to find an organic kind that can come close to the delicious taste that you find in Israel.</p>Essie commented on 'Dairy Nirvana!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503e970788332005-11-03T14:15:58Z2008-02-14T04:39:48ZEssieMy arteries are getting clogged just reading this!

<p>Dave... If you think I'll be waiting until Hanukkah for another dose of these goodness you have another things coming!</p>
<p>Mcaryeh... Like you said, blueberry cheesecake describes two of the most heavenly flavors on earth! When I saw them together on a yogurt container I simply had to buy it. It was everything I had hoped (and more), and I try to have it at least twice a week despite the 7.3 grams of carbs it contains.</p>
<p>Jewish Blogmister... You can be forgiven since you are relatively new to treppenwitz, but for future reference: Sugar (carbs) = Bad, and Protein/Fat = Good. Yes, I am an Atkins adherent. My '221' hasn't changed because for several months I have been cheating a bit on the Atkins and trying to make up for it by walking a couple of kilometers before or after lunch. Since the holidays ended I am being much more strict with my carb intake so you might see the 221 drop in the not-to-distant future.</p>
<p>Shabtai... No need in a country with socialized medicine! :-)</p>
<p>Tanya... See my reply to JB. Splenda tastes every bit as good as sugar to me and I'd rather waste my carb allotment on something worthwhile rather than just sugar.</p>
<p>Val... OK, I'm putting a big dab on my middle finger. How does <em>that</em> look? [holds it up for you to see] :-)</p>
<p>Jordan... Fruit = carbs. What can I say? :-)</p>Jordan Hirsch commented on 'Dairy Nirvana!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55052215e88342005-11-03T12:35:42Z2008-02-14T04:39:40ZJordan HirschWhat's the matter.

In a related incident, my daughter has recently learned (from her mother) about the substitution of Creme Fraiche for cream cheese with lox. I bet the 27% sour cream is a similar flavor.<br />

Here you are ranting about how fattening and flavorful this Israeli dairy is and what do you do with this great sounding sour cream? You add splenda! Why? Are you afraid of the extra calories at that point? Use sugar or some extra fine sugar. Unless of course that's all you had available in which case I forgive you. Also, does this mean we should expect that "221" to be going up soon? I rarely ever see much chande there.
