Sit Back and Savor Summertime |
|
Summer flies by in Wisconsin. And we serve the season’s best every chance we get—grilled burgers and cheese, cold beer and cheese and, yes, even ice cream and cheese! Who can blame us? We Wisconsinites truly believe the right cheese makes all the difference, and our handcrafted specialties turn ordinary bites into extraordinary masterpieces. Experience this for yourself with these summer-pleasing recipes and pairings. |

Imagine a lazy summer day at home. From the grill, the intoxicating scent of fire-kissed cheeseburgers fills the air. You hear the familiar hiss of meat meeting the flame, and open the lid to the most beautiful sight of bubbling cheese oozing over juicy patties. This is what daydreams are made of in The State of Cheese, especially when you top or stuff your burgers with the best cheeses in the world. |
|
| | Level up your burgers with melt-in-your-mouth, mild and buttery butterkäse from Roth Cheese and colby from Henning’s Wisconsin Cheese, a Wisconsin Original and three-time gold medal winner of the World Championship Cheese Contest. This dream team stars two mega melters that promise the most decadent burgers ever. |
|
| | Experience the ultimate in umami when this master-crafted, artisan blue combines with grilled beef and spicy, sweet-smoky chipotle. Perfect for blue lovers, award-winning Carr Valley Glacier Point Blue™ Cheese is pleasantly piquant with a crisp, clean finish. Stuff it generously between patties for a gooey-good surprise. |
|
| | Pile on the pleasure! Made with whole milk, V&V Supremo Queso Chihuahua® Quesadilla cheese is scrumptious—and has a reputation for a long, luxurious stretch when melted. Its mild, buttery notes are the ideal backdrop to the creamy layer of intensely nutty and complex, aged Widmer’s One Year Cheddar cheese. |

Specialty cheese and cold beer—sounds like a steamy summer romance to us. And just like dating, the secret to successfully pairing the two starts with balancing the intensities of each. For example, young cheeses have delicate flavors that can be overwhelmed by a strong beer like dark ale; however, they match perfectly to a pilsner. But a funky, washed-rind cheese like aged limburger tastes earthy and is lovingly known as stinky! A bold-flavored brew stands up to its pungent notes. |

Hosting a cookout? Invite that big Italian family who always brings the fun—we’re talking cheeses, of course, from Sartori Cheese! A classic like award-winning asiago or their world-class SarVecchio® Parmesan, a caramelly-sweet, extra-aged masterpiece that’s won Gold and Super Gold Medals globally, tastefully transforms any summer side. For over four generations, this Wisconsin cheesemaking family continues to craft artisanal cheeses that honor their Italian heritage. |
