I just had 2 oz of what was labeled "Wisconsin Cheese". It didnt say what type of cheese on the label, just Wisconsin.

It was probably the best cheese I have ever tased in my life. What gives?

    Maybe a touristy type thing? There are a lot of small shops and business that sell cheese to tourists and vacationers. A wild guess is that it's a few-year-old cheddar, but there are all kinds of small producers as @joshperson195 says.

    They don't call us the "Dairy State" for nothing!

    Spotted Cow is what everyone talks about, but man! New Glarus has so many great offerings. Oud Bruin, Scream IIPA, Apple Ale, the whole R&D series. My personal favorite:

    Nice! Moon Man is my husband's favorite. I'm in Illinois where they don't distribute, so we have to run for the border to get this stuff.

    Wisconsin has a ton of small dairy co-ops that distribute and operate under the "Wisconsin cheese" label. One of my favorite brands is Burnett Dairy.

    Cheesiest necro post ever!

    Drooling over here...

    Not a Spotted Cow fan myself. I'm all about the Fat Squirrel. But would love to get some of this Cherry next time we're in WI...

    New Glarus has wisely used some of the money they're making off of Spotted Cow to improve their specialty brews and sour beers. Dan Carey now has a special "wild fruit cave" to play in.

    I love Spotted Cow, but really enjoyed their new Bubbler this summer - a traditional Hefeweizen.

    I'm from St Louis but was taking classes at UW for a certificate so I always made sure I drove so I could bring back some New Glarus beer. Sadly my certificate is complete so I need to find a new reason to get up to Wisconsin for fresh cheese curds and delicious beer...

    I'm on good terms with all cheese, but this is one of my favorites.

    http://www.cypressgrovechevre.com/cheese/fresh-chevre/purple-haze.html

    I also like humboldt fog by Cypress grove too...And they are from California and I'm in Delaware...go fig. For the top cheese I would pair it with something wheaty, but I like fruity lambics with the humboldt.

    I can eat the cheeses right now since they are pasteurized, but can't drink until this baby comes in January. Sadness.

    I don't know, people. All I know is that about three years ago, I drove across Wisconsin, going to Chicago from California, and all I saw was corn, where once I could swear you saw dairies. I can only assume that government subsidies for corn growing are so good that it is transforming the countryside, and the dairy farmers are abandoning their cows.
    It's a crying shame!
    Somebody correct me if I am wrong. Please.

    I went biking near Madison a few weeks ago and saw dairy farms. It looked far different from central Illinois where it's all corn and soybeans.

    Don't know if that helped, but I tried! ;-)

    I live near the edge of a city surrounded by countryside. There are dairy farms everywhere. Corn is grown as silage. We had corn hard up against our backyard for the past 5-6 years, but have alfalfa this year.
