Uplands Cheese Company, of Dodgeville, Wisconsin, produces Pleasant Ridge Reserve, which is surely one of the great "American originals." This artisan cheese is made by Cheesemaker, Mike Gingrich from raw milk of a single herd of Jersey cows, fed and managed using natural, "old world" practices.

Bonne Bouche is the flagship of the signature line from Cheesemaker, Allison Hooper. This hand-ladled, ash-ripened cheese has a mild, fresh goats' milk flavor, with notes of fresh flowers, citrus and hazelnuts, and a very smooth and creamy texture.

Spring Brook Farm Tarentaise cheese is a raw milk cheese made from the milk of their 40 Jersey cows. It is an artisanal product in every sense of the word. From the day it is made, on through the five months or more of aging, the cheesemakers at Spring Brook Farm care for each wheel of cheese with individual attention.
