What You Find
The family-owned store has been in Milwaukee for more than 85 years, and it sets out to show off the work of Wisconsin's cheesemakers. Expect a wide range of Wisconsin cheese, curds and gift boxes. It is also the preferred online retailer for Carr Valley Cheese, so the full Carr Valley line is here.
