Saturday sample highlight: Union Star Espoir🧀

This is a new arrival this summer, a soft rind cheese that has been washed in brandy. Inspired by the French Epoisses, this is a delicious Wisconsin take on the classic stinky French cheese.

This cheese is creamy and rich, and gets funkier as it ripens. The top notes or fruit and cream make for a melt in your mouth texture that only gets better with age.🧀

Ideal pairings include fresh berries, spread on toast with cherries, and makes for a beautiful centrepiece on a charcuterie board.

Come grab a wheel and give it a try!🧀

Thursday sample highlight: triple cream Camembert 🧀

Our very own Union Star take on the classic French cheese, this is just as delicious as it looks.

Perfect for spreading on a cracker or fresh bread, this cheese pairs nicely with sweet or savory on any charcuterie board.

Come grab a wheel for the weekend!🧀

Wednesday sample highlight: Curds in a Cloud🧀☁️

This is a specialty Wisconsin cheese that is made by embedding cheese curds into wheels of muenster. 🧀☁️

It has a smooth, creamy flavour, and the appearance resembles a fluffy cloud with cheese curds suspended in it, which is how it gets the famous name.🧀

This cheese is wonderful for enjoying on a sandwhich, snacking on with summer sausage, or using for a multi-colored grilled cheese. 💛🍞 ☁️

How do you like to enjoy curds in a cloud?☁️🧀

Friday sample highlight: Marble Cheese🧀🤍🧡

If you were born and raised in Wisconsin then this is a familiar face among the cheeses here. Made from Colby and Monterey Jack swirled together and then pressed into forms, it creates the classic marbling effect, earning the same name.

Ideal for snacking on with some summer sausage on a hot summer night, this Wisconsin classic is timeless for good reason.

Come grab a block ahead of the weekend in store today!🧀🧡🤍

Saturday sample: The Dry Jack🧀

Nicknamed the ‘American Parmesan’, this is our take on the classic aged Monterey Jack.

Rubbed in olive oil and salt, and then open air cured for 90 days, this cheese is similar to a young parmesan. As such, it grates beautifully, and is suitable for both snacking on or cooking with.

One example of how I like to use it is in a bacon and cannelini bean pasta. Once the bacon, garlic and onions are cooked down and caramelised, I like to add a splash of cream and a generous pile of grated dry jack into the pan to thicken the sauce. This works well for soups too.

Have you tried this one? Or if you cook with it, how do you use it? Let us know!

Swing by to try the Dry Jack today!🧀

Monday Sample Highlight: 10 Year Aged Cheddar🧀

Have you ever had a loaded baked potato with crispy fried bacon bits, butter, sour cream, chives, and a ten year cheddar grated on top? 🤤

Well if not, we think you should try it.🥔

Our Red Barn 10 year cheddar is one of our most popular cheddars thanks to its age and strength, and a little goes a long way. This means that it is ideal for grating over a baked potato, melting on a burger, or topping mashed potatoes.

The slight tang compliments the creaminess and makes for the perfect garnish.

Don’t believe us? Come grab a block and try for yourself🥔🧀🤤

Friday sample highlight: Red Onion Cheddar 🧅

This is one of Union Star’s best flavored cheddars for the summertime, the fresh minced red onion is added to the cheddar curd, so the flavour is robust but not overpowering.

This cheese is delicious on its own but is also perfect for melting on a burger fresh off the grill.🍔

The subtle sweetness of the red onion combined with the richness of the cheddar creates a melt-in -your-mouth texture, and an incredible natural flavour.

Come grab a block and try it with your barbecues this weekend! 🍔🔥

Saturday sample highlight: The St Jeanne🧀

This is another invention by Jon Metzig, and is a hidden gem among the Union Star cheeses.

Named after his grandmother, this is semi soft, made from cow’s milk, and is a washed-rind cheese. This means that it is washed in brevi-bacterium linens, which are bacterium that are essential for ripening the cheese. It has a unique funk that deepens with age, and a distinctively smooth texture.

If you love savoury cheese pairings, then this one is for you. Pair with salty cured meats like salamis, olives, toasted rye bread, pickles, and almonds to bring out its earthy, nutty flavours.

If you like the stinkier cheeses, such as a Brie or a Limburger, this is a good middle ground for you.

What do you like to pair with the St Jeanne? Let us know in the comments!🧀

Friday sample highlight: Hickory Nut Muenster🌰

This is a Wisconsin speciality, if you grew up with Hickory nut trees then you are lucky to know their unique taste, and to know how difficult they are to crack!

Hickory nuts are sweeter than walnuts or pecans, and are locally sourced by friends of Union Star. The sweet, buttery, and slightly smokey taste of the nuts perfectly compliments the smooth, rich flavour of our Muenster cheese, making it a true Wisconsin novelty.

Ideal for snacking on and pairing with apple slices and honey, this is something you won’t find many places. 🌰🍯🧀

Come grab a block and try this Wisconsin delicacy from Union Star!🌰🧀

Thursday sample: Basil and tomato cheddar 🍅

This cheese is another Union Star classic flavoured cheddar, it blends the sweet tomato notes with the fresh basil, creating a wonderful flavour profile that is rounded by the creaminess of the smooth cheddar.

This cheese is a great melter, and works really well in a grilled cheese (particularly when dipped in a creamy tomato soup). 👀🍅

We used this cheese in our May tasting class series at The Cheese Table for one of our pairings, which was called a ‘Wisconsin Caprese Salad’. This was a cube of cheese with a slice of tomato, fresh basil ribbons, and a drop of balsamic glaze reduction on-top.

Ideal for canapés or grilled cheeses, this basil and tomato cheddar can wear many hats.

Have you tried this one? 🍅🧀
