Anyone know a nice export cheese from a blue county of Wisconsin? I want to buy some.

[Snoutport]

I'm trying to think of a positive way to send a message to Wisconsin and I decided I'd just buy some good old Wisconsin Cheddar. BUT....I want to make sure it comes from good left-leaning, union loving democrat cheese makers. Can anyone recommend a good website, company or brand?

Of course, I wish the election was a landslide instead of a squeaker... but I can't think of a better wayt o say thanks to Wisconsin for the good fight they have been putting up.

1. That's a great idea.

Full of win. :toast:

[Thunderstruck]

23. It is full of win and when you order, especially if by phone, tell them why you

are calling to order.

And don't just limit this to cheese. If you need something you can find from WI and can do so, buy it from there.

I'm off to buy some cheeeeeeessse!

[malaise]

2. We started buying Wisconsin cheese since the

protests

[PeaceNikki]

3. West Allis Cheese or Wisconsin Cheese Mart

9. Irish Kerrygold Dubliner "combines the sharpness of mature cheddar, the nuttiness

of Swiss cheese, and the bite of Parmesan. This cheese shares traits with several well-known cheeses but the combination creates a flavor that is completely unique."

Thanks, PeaceNikki. They have a great website. My shopping cart is not yet full.

[PeaceNikki]

10. If you ever get to Milwaukee, stop in and see them, they're really good people.

:)

I've never had that cheese, but it sounds amazing. I may have to get over there soon. I've been shopping Brennan's Market cuz they have one near me (http://www.brennansmarket.com/)

[sybylla]

34. This is my favorite. It's expensive but worth it.

The best cheddar I've ever had.

[Snoutport]

14. horseradish and chive halvarti from cheesemart...thanks peacenikki

YUM!

[Greybnk48]

4. The Wisconsin Cheeseman has excellent cheese

and is in Sun Prairie, right outside of Madison. I send out their cheese at Christmas (because they offer free shipping sometimes).

[Kip Humphrey]

11. I recommend the baby swiss.... very good as a breakfast cheese.

[murielm99]

5. In Dane County, which is blue, there is a wonderful

little unincorporated community called Paoli. They have several artisan shops, and a wonderful cheese shop. They have a catalog for Paoli cheese, too. You can order online or by phone if you can't get to Paoli WI. My kids get my husband a box of cheese from Paoli Cheese every Christmas. It is delivered to our house.

[Greybnk48]

6. This is a really good one. Agreed.

[murielm99]

28. Appleton!

My oldest did her undergraduate work at Lawrence University. She is a proud graduate of the conservatory, a flute major.

[PeaceNikki]

7. Mars Cheese Castle is also awesome. As is Brennan's Market.

[xmas74]

27. I grew up with Mars.

I really miss it. Next time I make it back home I need to take my kid there, just to experience it.

[cognoscere]

37. You're going to be in for a surprise. Due to road construction, the old

Mars will be torn down. The new Mars is slightly west of the old one and actually looks like a castle...well, sort of.

[PeaceNikki]

39. Yes, it's pretty cool!

:)

[cognoscere]

43. Do you live in or near the "ChiWaukee Corridor"?

I'm so close to the border, friends call me a flathead or a cheeselander.

[PeaceNikki]

44. Nah, I am in Lake Country. BUT I am a cheeselander hybrid.

Born in WI, moved to Chicago as a teen then back in my late 20's. FIB's call me a cheesehead, cheeseheads call me a FIB... but I love them all. :)

[xmas74]

45. I read that not too long ago.

I receive regular emails from Kenosha businesses, chamber of commerce, whathaveyou. I'd heard that it was all going to be torn down and that there is a new one. Is it as much fun as the old?

[notadmblnd]

8. just buy cheese curds. They are so good.

[Greybnk48]

Cajun or garlic & herb curds. Yum!

[notadmblnd]

21. Now I really want some and I have to go to Pinconning to get them

They're not real popular here in SW Mich. People buy that Kraft stuff.

[Lugnut]

31. I love cheese curds!

I think I'll order some.

46. re: Holland's Family Cheese

"Holland's Family Cheese - Cheesemaker Marieke Penterman and taste different Aged Goudas, Foenegreek Gouda & Pesto Basil Gouda."


I LOVE their Fenugreek Gouda. Her Goudas win national and world cheese trophies every year...

[PeaceNikki]

13. ALSO - be sure to not EVER buy Sargento. They supported Walker.

[Snoutport]

15. I was at the store and not only skipped over the Sargento I put other cheese in front of it

I know it was petty, but it made me happy!

[PeaceNikki]

18. .

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

29. Fuck, I got to taste Real Cheddar once, and now I got cravings.

Wah.

[PeaceNikki]

40. You have actually shopped one of the cheese shops I mentioned!!

:hi:

[niyad]

25. ohhh, what a great idea.

[Pacifist Patriot]

20. Figures. Their product sucks.

[niyad]

26. that is good to know--I don't like the crap they put in their cheese anyway, so one more reason not

to purchase their product.

[raging_moderate]

17. try Ave's Taxidermy and Cheese shop

in Hudson WI. Really.

There's also the Dull Funeral Home, and The Best Place by a Dam Site (turtle lake...now closed).

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

30. That's not exactly a reassuring name. -nt

[eleny]

19. Here's how the counties voted for Kloppenburg by percentages

Some like Ashland County went big for her.

Dane County has orchards so there might even be some places to buy dried fruits.

[Snoutport]

24. Political shopping feels good!

[Canuckistanian]

22. There's a Wisconsin blue cheese?

I'd buy it. I LOVE blue cheese.

[FeelingBlue]

38. Remember the State Fair Ad...

Honk if you love Cheeses!

Those ads used to be great!

32. Kick

33. In Pierce CO

We went blue YAY! Anyhoo, we have a wonderful little factory called Cady Cheese.

http://www.cadycheese.com/

The aged cheddar is awesome. :9

35. Union Star Cheese

http://www.unionstarcheese.com/cart/home.php

It started as a farmer's co-op in the early 1900s, now a family owned shop.

[HereSince1628]

36. From any vendor...buy a Colby--it was developed in WI in 1874

Colby cheese
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colby
Colby Cheese.jpg
Other names Colby Swiss Cheddar
Country of origin United States
Region, town Colby, Wisconsin
Source of milk Cows
Texture Semi-hard
Aging time None

Colby is a cow's milk cheese. It was originally called Colby Swiss Cheddar.<1>


History
A marker in Colby, Wisconsin notes the town's relationship to the cheese.

Joseph F. Steinwand in 1874 developed a new type of cheese at his father's cheese factory near Colby, Wisconsin. The cheese was named after the village,<2> which had been founded three years earlier.<3>

An 1898 issue of the "Colby Phonograph" noted that "A merchant in Phillips gives as one of the 13 reasons why people should trade with him, that he sells the genuine Steinwand Colby Cheese." After the turn of the century Wisconsin became known as one of the great cheese producing centers in the United State

41. cheese and beer

If you desire a truly blue collar lunch with products from a couple blue counties all you need is some fresh cheese curds from the Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery (Pierce County--cheese curd capital of Wisconsin) and a bottle of New Glarus Spotted Cow/Honey Bock/ or Fat Squirrel (Green County.) Cheese from a co-op and beer from a supporter of single payer is an added bonus.

[HereSince1628]

42. I loves me Spotted Cow and Nutty Squirrel...but not with cheese!

Somehow the marvelous tones of the yeast in SC don't stand up very well to cheeezzz.

But I will do Ground Hog Apple Cider with Cheese.

[Critters2]

47. Is Sheboygan County red or blue? My dad drives out to a local cheese producer

and gets it fresh. Beechwood Cheeses. He lives in the very red Washington County, but the cheese factory is in Sheboygan County. I'd like to support them...if it means sending money into a blue place.
