Wisconsin's 160 years of dedication to the craft of dairying is especially apparent today with the rising popularity and variety of artisan and farmstead dairy products being made here.

Of particular note are the number of artisan and farmstead cheeses made in the state - more than any other area in the nation. The time and care these cheeses take to plan and process is truly remarkable. In most cases, the planning begins with the cows, their types, the grasses they graze upon and the way those grasses are raised. Then, once the actual cheesemaking begins, there's careful handwork and innovative combinations of milk and natural ingredients that yield unique, wonderful cheese flavors ... flavors that could only come from Wisconsin.
