"It all started in the early 80's when Mr. Guilloteau set out to create his own cheese. This passionate man devoted ten years of his life to developing a recipe that we still use today in the French countryside. In 1981, he made his first cheese using a unique approach to cheese making that filtered the milk and kept the best it had to offer! The cheese features a unique thin rind, a unique taste and a melting texture. The cheese-making savoir-faire has remained the same: that of Mr. Guilloteau. His knowledge has been passed on by cheese makers for over 40 years now!"

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 heir 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!
