FROMAGERIE Guilloteau

‘It all started in the early 80's when Mr. Guilloteau set out to create his own cheese. This passionate man devoted 10 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 our cheese makers for over 40 years now!’

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 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’tget 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.

Will you accept this (cheese) rose? If you haven’t heard of this unique trend, you’re in for a treat. Slices of cheese are delicately wrapped into the shape of flowers, then garnished with edible herbs for a stunning centerpiece fit for any cheese board or special occasion. And with Wisconsin cheese, these cheese flowers are sure to taste even better than they look.

W hether they’re nestled into a cheese board, popped into vases, or handed out as hors d’oeuvres, cheese roses are an elegant way to enjoy the best thing of all: cheese. We’ve put together a guide with all the best tips and tricks to making beautiful, tasty cheese roses. It’s way easier than you’d think, we promise!

The Best Cheese for Cheese Roses

Cheese roses are best made with young cheeses that are springy and flexible, so you can roll the slices without them tearing. Aged cheeses, while delicious, have less moisture—causing them to be brittle and crack easily. Thin slices of a younger cheese are best—aim for around 1/8” thickness for best results. While you can slice your own cheeses, especially with a good cheese knife, we recommend making your life easier and ordering from a deli counter or local cheesemonger. They can slice the cheese easily and precisely for you, so you can focus more on what really counts: what-wine or beer you’ll pair with your soon-to-be cheese roses!

How To Make Cheese Roses

Step 1: Thinly slice a block of Wisconsin cheese, such as cheddar, fontina, gouda, havarti

Step 2: Place a cheese round on a cutting board; fold in half. Add another folded slice, followed by three unfolded slices.

Continue rolling, keeping the stem near the center of unfolded

Roll a separate cheese round tightly to form a “stem”.

Step 6: Place the cheese flower upright

Place stem on the left edge of the first folded slice. Working left to right, begin rolling slices around stem.

"Blumenkäse translates to “Cheese made with flowers.” This cheese is crafted at the Oberriet village dairy, nestled in the heart of the Rhine valley in St. Gallen, a canton in north-east Switzerland bordering Austria's Vorarlberg, where the Alpstein mountain foothills rise to altitude of 1300 meters. With respect for animal welfare, this dairy sources milk exclusively from farms that practice animal friendly husbandary. Blumenkaese is a FEAST for the eyes! The rind is coated with dried yellow, blue and red blossoms of marigolds, cornflowers and roses. The addition of twelve different herbs on the rind, including winter savory, mint, chives and juniper berries – seduces the senses. As the cheese is aged, it develops a mild, subtly tart flavor with herbal notes.”
