Item Description
Bid on a “curated collection” of delicious cheeses from Wisconsin, the Dairyland State! The winner will receive a selection of six cheeses from small, master producers, along with a beautiful, hand-forged cheese knife. This prize package will ship directly to the winner from Wisconsin in time for the holidays.
A little history:
Wisconsin's cheese making tradition dates back to the 19th century. European immigrants who settled in Wisconsin were drawn to its fertile fields. Soon, dairy farms sprang up around Wisconsin, and farmers began producing cheese to preserve excess milk.
Wisconsin has long been identified with cheese; in the words of a 2006 New York Times article, "Cheese is the state’s history, its pride, its self-deprecating, sometimes goofy, cheesehead approach to life." As of 2013, Wisconsin continues to be the largest cheese producer in the United States, making over 600 different cheese varieties.
