For the first time ever, we’re hosting a WISCONSIN CHEESE TAKEOVER! Yes, we’re giving America’s Dairyland a special spotlight all week long. Just to start tempting you: Wisconsin is home to many “American Original” cheeses. Do you know what this means? Can you name any? America’s most awarded cheese is inspired by a European icon. Can you name both cheeses? We’ll be answering these, sharing many more Wisconsin cheese facts, and handing out as many free cheese bites as we can. (And just FYI, our Wisconsin faves will still be nestled among the many other cheeses we love.)
