Discover Wisconsin Cheese

Here in Wisconsin, we stay busy making the best cheese on Earth. We believe that great cheese makes the world a better and happier place, and we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what cheese can be – through new varieties, textures, and flavors. We believe in tradition and innovation. And while you’ll find classic cheeses, you’ll also find cheeses that are original to our state. Even though we believe we make the best cheese, you’ll notice we don’t like to brag much.

That’s why in 1983, we united as the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin to share our cheese and dairy stories with the world. Find out more about Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin and our mission.

We’d love for you to try our cheese and decide for yourself.
