A letter from the owners The Wisconsin Cheese Mart was started with one simple goal: To sell the highestquality cheeses from local Wisconsin creameries to cheese lovers in Milwaukee and beyond. When the finest milk in the country is put into the skilled hands of proud and knowledgeable cheesemakers, the end result is exceptional cheese. Our family-owned cheese store has been in Milwaukee for more than 70 years, and our mission today is the same as it was back then: To celebrate the cheesemakers’ craft, showcase their hard work and innovation, and serve cheese fanatics everywhere the best of what Wisconsin has to offer.
- Ken & Melissa McNulty
Owners, Wisconsin Cheese Mart

Wisconsin Cheese Curds The famous Wisconsin squeaky cheese curd! Cheese curds are the absolute youngest form of cheese. Cheddar cheese curds are a natural part of the cheese-making process. After the whey separation step, curds are taken out of the cheese vat before being pressed into Cheddar or Colby. With a great mild flavor and firm springy texture, these Wiscosnin favorites actually squeak when bitten into. Available in 3 lb, 5 lb, and 15 lb bags.

History of the Wisconsin Cheese Mart 1938 1940 1970 1990 Two German immigrants establish the Cheese Mart on Milwaukee’s Germaninfluenced 3rd Street.
The Cheese Mart begins shipping cheese throughout the country.
A major fire destroys the store, forcing the Cheese Mart to move to a new location.
Catalog sales expand and the back of the store is turned into the shipping area.
2004 2008 2011 The McNulty family rennovates and expands the store, offering a larger variety of Wisconsin cheeses.
The tasting room opens, providing cheese plates, wine, and draft beer next door to the store.
Shipping orders triple, moving the shipping area from the back of the store to a space across the street.
2013 2014 The Wisconsin Cheese Mart celebrates its 75th anniversary!

How to Host a Wine & Cheese Tasting T I PS F O R G O U RM ET EN TERTAI N I N G Wine and cheese can be paired up beautifully to bring out the best characteristics and tasting notes in each other. Here are some basic guidelines:
Picking the Cheeses: When picking your cheeses, go for a wide variety of flavor profiles. Make sure to include an aged Cheddar, a cheese that is harder in texture and dryer in flavor, such as a Parmesan or Bellavitano, and a cheese with earthy notes. A gourmet wine and cheese tasting should consist of cow’s milk cheeses as well as sheep or goat’s milk cheeses.
Picking the Wines: White wines pair well with soft cheeses and strong flavors. Red wines pair well with harder cheeses and milder flavors. A bold cheese, like the 5 year Cheddar, needs a big wine like a Cabernet.
aa aa aa aa
A fruity white wine such as Riesling A crisp white such as Pinot Grigio A light red such as Pinot Noir A strong red such as Cabernet or Merlot
Arranging the Plate: Place cheeses in order from mildest to strongest and then decorate the plate with grapes, apple slices, dried cranberries, raspberries, nuts, honey, thin crackers, and French baguette slices.
SUGGESTED PAIRINGS 5 Year Cheddar and Cabernet Abergele and Merlot Sartori Raspberry and Riesling Saxon and Pinot Grigio Shepherd’s Blend and Pinot Noir
Be ready to impress your guests!

How to Make a Gourmet Cheese Plate Picking the Cheeses: Start with the Wisconsin Sampler or select your own cheeses. A gourmet cheese plate does not have to feature more than four or five cheeses; we suggest:
hh An aged Cheddar, such as the 5 year vintage Cheddar. hh A creamy blue cheese such as the Blue Affinee. hh A nutty and grassy cheese such as a Pleasant Ridge or Gruyere. hh A cheese that is hard in texture and a little bit dryer, such as the Cheddar Parmesan blend, Bellavitano.
HARD AND DRY Bellavitano
CREAMY BLUE Blue
Affinee
AGED CHEDDAR
NUTTY & GRASSY
5 Year Vintage
Gruyere
Cheddar
Serving the Cheese Plate: Take the cheeses out of your refridgerator half an hour to an hour before consumption. The cheese should be at room temperature to fully bring out the flavor profiles. Decorate the plate with olives, grapes, dried cranberries, nuts, honey (for drizzling over the blue cheese), and your favorite crackers. Set out a seperate knife for the blue cheese. Enjoy!

Aged Cheddars
Special Reserve 18 Year Aged Cheddar Do you seek the exceptional? Crunchy cheese crystals: Those little crunchy bits found in and around aged cheeses (specifically our vintage Cheddar collection) are known as calcium lactate crystals. As the cheese is aged, the protein chain begins to unravel and the little deposits form. These cheese crystals don’t just add extra crunch, they indicate that the cheese will have an extremely bold and complex flavor. Experience it now. #1115 Net Wt. 0.5lbs
