Uplands Cheese Company’s Pleasant Ridge Reserve

Dodgeville, WI

This washed-rind farmstead cheese from Wisconsin, two-time winner of the American Cheese Society’s annual competition, is made with the raw milk from cows that graze on fresh grass and herbs. The subtle flavors in the milk, combined with regular baths in brine as the cheese ages, contribute complex layers of fruity, caramelized flavors to the finished cheese.
