Another Low Sodium Cheese Found

I found another low sodium cheese (both Cheddar & Monterey Jack available) at my local natural foods store. It's from Sonnet Farms, and distributed by CLC of Kenwood, CA. It has no salt or coloring added, its aged over 60 days, rennetless, and made from whole raw milk from a cow not treated with rBST.
The serving size is 1 oz, and the nutritionals per serving are: 110 cal, 9 g fat, 20 g Cholesterol and only 10 mg sodium. Much lower than even the Landmark cheese that I bought last time which had 35 mg sodium per 1 oz! The taste is very similar to the Landmark cheese (don't expect a lot of flavor from either - just add your own low/no sodium seasonings & dried herbs before melting). Since Sonnet Farms cheese has less than 1/3 the sodium, I guess I found myself a new fav to buy (and I can eat three times as much! haha). The price was $6.99/lb (same as Landmark). The only difference that I noticed was that the Sonnet Farms seemed to be a little softer (less firm). Sorry for the bad pic. I waited till I finished eating it to take the pic.
