Wisconsin is one of those places that does one thing better than anyone else anywhere. They've been making cheese in Wisconsin for over 180 years, which may be one reason they win so many awards for it. It's what happens when a whole state dreams in cheese.

No other place in the country has the same access to such exceptionally produced dairy. And it all starts with their dedicated dairy farm families. They're committed to treating cows and land with the utmost care and respect because quality care yields quality products, and quality products create happy dairy lovers. It's just one of the ways they've earned the name 'America's Dairyland'.

"In Wisconsin, we treat our cows with kindness and respect. After all, without their hard work we wouldn't have a livelihood. Wisconsin farmers strive to offer the most comfortable, clean bedding and living conditions possible. Dairy cows have access to feed, as well as fresh, clean water 24 hours a day. Regardless of the type of barn, dairy farmers focus on proper ventilation and protection from the elements."

The Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker Program is a major reason that Wisconsin makes over 600 different kinds of cheese. Wisconsin is actually the only state in the U.S. with this level of certification. Skilled cheesemakers with over a decade of experience enter this three-year program to perfect making specific varieties of cheese. When the Master Cheesemaker program was created, Wisconsin dairy farmers had no idea the impact that all of that mastery would have. They couldn't foresee the dominance at award shows around the world, or that Wisconsin cheesemakers would go on to make more kinds of cheese than anywhere else on the planet!

Find your next favorite cheese by reading on to see some of our finest Wisconsin cheese producers!

Sear-iously good cheese! Cooks up crispy on the outside, warm and oh-so incredible on the inside. THE BIG MOO is made with 3 simple ingredients. Local Wisconsin milk, cheese enzymes, and salt.

Cheese & Chocolate Pairings for Easter

Did you know that sweet and decadent chocolate pairs beautifully with rich and savory cheese? Cheese and chocolate pair so well because of their shared characteristics-- milky, creamy, nutty, strong--and their contrasting salty and sweet flavors work together to create a sophisticated sensation. Not just any cheese and chocolate will go together, though. It is important to select products that have similar textures complimentary flavors. The cheese and chocolate's flavors must work together so that one will not overpower the other. This Easter impress your loved ones by including a dessert cheese board in your family gathering celebration.

Sweets & Treats

BELLAVITANO ESPRESSO starts with the BellaVitano Gold, hand-coated with fresh ground Italian roast espresso beans. It's sweet, sugary, creamy, buttery. BellaVitano flavors come together with the lightly sweet, slightly smoky, roasted flavors of an Italian-style espresso coffee to bring out an eye-opening treat. Just imagine an espresso with a double shot of cream. As a treat for breakfast, dessert or any time in between. Handrubbed freshly roasted espresso into sweet, sugary Bella Vitano aged to creamy perfection.

A Sartori family original, this rich, creamy cheese with its nutty, fruity flavor is also a celebrated gold medal winner. Inspired by traditional, Italian farmstead cheese, it begins in the mouth like a premium Parmesan and finishes in award-winning style with hints of melted butter.

Pair indulgently with dark chocolate mini eggs and the culinary victory is yours.

QUINTA is topped with CA Bay Laurel leaves, it is a soft-ripened, bloomy rind cheese, inspired by the very famous, seasonally-made Vacherin Mont d’Or and its close variation L’Edel de Cléron, both from the Jura mountain region along the French-Swiss border.

Quinta is a small round, about 4” in diameter, weighing about 10oz. The interior texture is silky-smooth and the rind is fluffy, yet slightly firm with a Bay leaf embedded on the top.

Made on the farm from their own pasteurized cows’ milk, the wheel is wrapped in spruce bark that has been infused with the essence of CA Bay Laurel, which is indigenous to the region and ever-present in Point Reyes. Quinta is meant to be enjoyed at room temperature in a single sitting by removing a portion of the top rind and digging in with a small spoon or cheese spreader.

Pair with favorite dark chocolate egg and dig in to this cheesy treat with a small spoon or cheese spreader!
