Wisconsin Cheese

Wisconsin Cheese Welcome to The State of Cheese. Cheesemakers use approximately 90 percent of this milk to produce cheese at 126 plants.

Today, approximately 6,000 dairy farms, with over 1.27 million cows each producing an average of 25,064 pounds of milk per year, continue the reputation for quality milk from Wisconsin. Wisconsin has more skilled and licensed cheesemakers than any other state. These cheesemakers must complete rigorous studies in dairy science and cheesemaking before they can be licensed. They also may serve as an

apprentice under a licensed cheesemaker. Additionally, Wisconsin is the only state to offer a Master Cheesemaker program, patterned on the rigorous standards of similar programs in Europe. These fine craftsmen produce nearly 2.8 billion pounds of cheese each year, over 25 percent of all domestic cheese. These quantities continue to grow to meet the nation’s demand for quality and variety of cheese from Wisconsin, America's Dairyland. Brought to you by the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin.

Obviously, curds are a Wisconsin delicacy. These chewy, squeaky, salty, snack-size gastronomic gems are nearly unheard of outside The State of Cheese. Yet, this humble cheese entered the global limelight in 2022, the year cheese curds became an official category at the World Championship Cheese Contest. Wisconsin’s own Decatur Dairy took home the top prize!

Cheese curds are a perfect snack when eaten fresh and squeaky. But if you’re looking to take it up a notch, this easy-going cheese loves the sweet, the savory, and the fresh. Favorite pairings might include hard cider with some prosciutto and pub mustard. Or go with the Wisconsin cult classic, deep fried dipped in ranch. Oh my, don’t get us started because we might not be able to stop!
