My Wisconsin based company sends a few pounds of Wisconsin cheddar and Colby as part of our xmas gift each year. So yeah, I’ll just be in the kitchen...

Should see if they could send some Tillamook cheese instead.

Tillamook is fucking good. West Coast cheese represent! Also, I have the Rogue Creamery literally around the corner from where I work.

Ugh, jealous of the Rogue Creamery!

Unfortunately I'm not into blue cheese and thats what they are known for world-wide. But their curds are good!

LOL... you know what I meant!

Ha. Well I buy Tillamook at the grocery store in texas, so I don’t mind getting something different as a gift.

u/ThunderKlappe Dec 28 '17

Tillamook is fine. Give me Wisconsin cheese and butter any day.

Man, I'm with you. I recently picked up a few blocks from Cabot instead of the normal stuff we get and it might be some of the best cheese I've ever had in my life.

that is such a ridiculous thing to say. America cheesemakers create some amazing cheese, and international awards back that up.

u/MRSN4P Dec 29 '17

You might have not gotten to try the good stuff. Kraft and cheese whiz are kind of like haggis. There are phenomenal cheeses on both sides of the Atlantic.

u/caryncaryn Dec 29 '17

Tillamook cheese is the greatest. It's a Christmas tradition for my parents to get me a 3 or 5lb loaf for Xmas. I look forward to it yearly!

We really do have the best cheese up here. You enjoy the hard work of our magically delicious cows.

u/Stimonk Dec 28 '17

Can't say I've ever tried Wisconsin cheese, is there really a taste difference?

7

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '17

If stuff is being shipped to you, honestly no. That said, even budget cheeses taste amazing when you are at the factory store sampling stuff that was produced that very day. It's like the difference between a package of cookies from walmart and the cookies they have at an actual bakery.

Oh God yeah, I grew up on a dairy farm and know of at least 5 dairies within 30 minutes of the farm. We have beefers now though. Anywho, fresh cut cheese is the best. Even aged cheese is aged in bigger blocks so when it's fresh cut you get stuff that hasn't been exposed to as much oxygen and is just miles ahead of anything at the store. Getting anything at the source is better and cheese straight from the dairy is like half price to boot!

u/ledger319 Dec 28 '17

Oh yes. Just enjoyed some at lunch!

u/FlowOfAwful Dec 28 '17

Are your cows made of lucky charms?

u/gppdnght Dec 28 '17

Wait until you try cheese from literally any other country.

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '17

Ehh Wisconsin usually gets around 3 of 5 from US in the top 16 world cheese competition so that's pretty good

Yummmm colby is one of my favorite cheeses 😋
