Resolve to make bold cheese choices in 2025! Start with Widmer’s Aged Brick, the only authentic brick cheese in the country made by Master Cheesemaker Joe Widmer, who still uses his grandfather's bricks to press the cheese. Deliciously mild and buttery when young, the real magic develops as it ages, with a heady aroma and pleasant, earthy flavor intensifying. Crunchy, savory and sweet accoutrements like dark chocolate-covered pretzels, summer sausage and hot honey balance its nutty, tangy, pungent taste and creamy texture.

Meet the Maker: Adam Buholzer

Master Cheesemaker Adam Buholzer grew up in the family business, Klondike Cheese Company, and is certified in brick, feta, gouda and havarti. “I started working after school at the factory,” Adam shares. “I got my feet wet that way.” After college and a brief stint as a chemical engineer, he returned to help expand their feta production. As the state’s first second-generation Master, Adam continues to be mentored by his father, Steve, who is also a Master Cheesemaker. “He ensures we’re putting out the best cheese,” says Adam. With their award-winning feta and these ideas, keeping your promise to eat more veggies will be a breeze this year!
