Blue (bloo)
Made in: USA Cow's Milk
Blue cheese represents one of the brightest aspects of American cheese production. Blue veined cheeses are marbled with visible mold cultures within their interiors. Made in Wisconsin from pasteurized cow’s milk, Dutch Garden Blue is piquant with a full, earthy flavor. Use sliced on a burger, in salad dressings, dips or crumbled over a salad, pasta or vegetables.
Beverage Pairing: Fortified wines such as Port or Maderia


Cheddar (ched dar)
Made in: USA Cow's Milk
The "big cheese" of American cheeses is Cheddar, originally made in Cheddar, England. This cheese can be found in white or yellow with a rich, nutty flavor that becomes sharper with age. Mild Cheddar is aged 30 to 60 days, it has a firm, supple texture, it slices easily and is well-suited to melting applications. The process of milling and piling curds prior to pressing is called Cheddaring, which is where Cheddar gets its name. It shreds well and compliments an omelet quite nicely. As with all cheddars; use for anything: breakfast, snacking, on sandwiches, or with fruit.
Beverage Pairing: Red wine or beer


Colby (kol-bee)
Made in: USA Cow's Milk
An American original from the 19th century first produced in Colby, Wisconsin. Traditionally formed in longhorn molds, this cheese is soft orange in color with a milder flavor and more open texture than cheddar cheese. Colby cheese has a creamy taste that’s a wonderful topper for any dish. Try Colby on your next sandwich or serve on top of hot apple pie or cubed with fresh apples.
Beverage Pairing: Merlot or Chianti wine


Edam (ee dam)
Made in: Holland Cow's Milk
Slightly tangier than its better known cousin, Gouda, Holland Edam is made from partially skimmed milk. Pale yellow in appearance, Holland Edam is mild, slightly salty and smooth. Holland Edam is produced in 5 lb loaves coated with red wax. A great breakfast cheese that goes well with sturdy breads and sausage.

Gouda (goo dah)
Made in: Holland Cow's Milk
