Do you have a favorite place you visit – or thing you do – on vacation? Does it ever involve food?
Travel site and magazine Travel+Leisure recently published a list of places that cheeselovers should visit before they die. Wisconsin was, of course, on the list!…along with Switzerland, France, northern California, Vermont and several other great places.
Have a look!…here is the posting.
While we loved that Fromagination was included on that list, we thought it might be helpful to make a more detailed list of Wisconsin cheese producers…before you take your last breath. So here are a few more places to see on your “do it before I die” artisan cheese tour:
- The Monroe, Wisconsin area (“Swiss Cheese Capital of the USA” and the high school mascot? The Monroe Cheesemakers, of course), including: Roth Kase Cheese Factory a company with a long cheese-making history
- LaClare Farms, Malone, Wisconsin Goats, goats, goats!
- Cedar Grove Cheese, Plain, Wisconsin See their “Living Machine” greenhouse…a commitment to the environment.
- Door Artisan Cheese Company, Egg Harbor, Wisconsin A new facility ready for visitors in Door County.
- Edelweiss Creamery, Monticello, Wisconsin A traditional Emmental cheese producer!
- Holland’s Family Cheese, Thorp, Wisconsin Home of Marieke Gouda cheese – an authentic Netherlands-style producer.
- Hook’s Cheese, Mineral Point, Wisconsin Known for its award-winning aged Cheddar cheeses.
