Aged six months or more, Midnight Moon® is a blushing, ivory-colored goat cheese that’s nutty and brown buttery up front with a long caramel finish. Similar to a Gouda, as Midnight Moon® ages, protein crystals form and lend a slight crunch to the otherwise dense and smooth cheese. Know someone who (gasp!) doesn’t like goat cheese? Encourage them to dip their toes back in the water with Midnight Moon®, which has been known to convert even the staunchest of goat cheese critics.

American Cheese Month in America’s Dairyland May is American Cheese Month and nowhere else in the country will you find the same concentration of innovation and expertise at work than in Wisconsin. When we celebrate American cheese, we celebrate award-winning, irresistibly delicious Wisconsin Cheese. Whether it’s an aged cheddar, funky blue, or a Wisconsin Original, they can all be found in Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s signature industry is dairy. It’s such an important part of their culture, that their license plates bear the slogan “America’s Dairyland.” Wisconsin’s dairy farm families produce more than 29 billion pounds of milk each year, making Wisconsin one of the nation’s leading dairy producers. Wisconsin’s residents can feel proud that their state is a leader in dairy, they can also feel good about the fact that it contributes more than $43.4 billion to the state’s economy each year. The Wisconsin dairy industry creates jobs and supports local businesses. It contributes to the local tax base that funds their public services, like schools, fire departments and parks. The industry’s strong tradition of environmental stewardship helps conserve Wisconsin resources and preserve its beautiful countryside. There’s a reason when you think of Wisconsin, you think of cheese. Even MAY 2022 | 10

though Wisconsin is just one state of 50, they craft nearly half of the nation’s specialty cheese! It’s no wonder this state is known for its cheese, Wisconsin offers the world’s only Master Cheesemaker program. You’ve heard of a Ph.D., but have you heard of a PhCheese? Otherwise known as the Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker Program, this rigorous study of cheese is an elite accomplishment earned by only 80 talented cheesemakers in Wisconsin. In fact, it’s one of only two such certifications in the whole world! From curds to cheddar, blue to brick, Wisconsin cheesemakers can do it all. They like to blend tradition with innovation in order to create a wide variety of cheeses that you just can’t get anywhere else. What better way to celebrate American Cheese month than with products from the state of cheese! Sponsored by the American Cheese Society, May is meant to be a celebration of North America’s delicious cheeses, and the farmers, cheesemakers, retailers and cheesemongers who bring them to consumers. It is your chance to spread the word and experience the wonders of Wisconsin. Help support and promote amazing products, local communities and passionate producers.

STELL A CHEESE As the story goes, Count Bolognesi, an Italian diplomat, was enamored with Wisconsin’s rolling pastures, clear waters, and pure milk. To bring a little bit of his homeland to this beautiful new countryside he loved, Bolognese began making authentic Parmesan cheese on a small farm on Lake Nebagamon in northern Wisconsin in 1923, hiring a master cheesemaker from Italy. The cheese was packaged under the Red Star label, a symbol that would stand for quality, and the Stella® brand was born. Today, Stella cheesemakers follow the principles of the brand's founders by paying close attention to the details. Stella Asiago, as well as all of their cheeses, are crafted with a rich heritage of Italian cheesemaking, dating back to 1923. This traditional Italian favorite was originally developed in its namesake: the village of “Asiago” in northern Italy. Slightly sweeter, smoother and nuttier than Parmesan, Asiago’s flavor ranges from mild to robust (depending on age) and adds panache to pasta, potatoes and salads.

EMMI ROTH Inspired by their Swiss heritage, Roth Cheese proudly calls the rolling hills of Wisconsin home. Roth cheeses are handcrafted in their little corner of the world, Wisconsin, by a team of cheesemakers and their supporting crew.

Tangy, yet mellow; this blue is an easy choice for cooking, crumbling or serving on a cheeseboard. Moody Blue blue is delicately smoked over fruit wood to create subtly smoky undertones. Beautifully balanced, Moody Blue is excellent on a cheese plate and for cooking with, especially as an addition to creamy condiments.

Originally made by shepherds in Ancient Greece, this staple is produced all around the circumference of the Mediterranean, including the South West of France. Valbreso Sheep milk cheese comes from one of the wildest and most spectacular regions of France, the LanguedocRoussillon, on the Causse de Sauveterre (limestone plateau), located between the Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans. Here, high above the Gorges du Tarn, the Lacaunes sheep roam and graze on the fertile land amidst “dolines” and “lavognes" (natural pools where sheep drink). Valbreso Sheep milk cheese is a fresh cheese whose curd is preserved in salt brine, which gives it a characteristic flavor and specific texture. Made from 100% ewe’s milk that is left over from the production of Roquefort. Valbreso Sheep milk cheese is mild and creamy without the bitter aftertaste often associated with other Fetas. Rich and tangy with a firm consistency and melt-inyour mouth texture. This award-winning Valbreso Sheep's milk cheese can be cubed or diced in salads, crumbled on pizza or bruschetta, pasta, or used in quiches and gratins.
