If you never have been in a cheese factory and totally got the scope of what they do I would suggest one time in life that you do. We work really hard during the week and I just needed a little more bonding time with my son Spencer. In the Waukesha County real estate market it gets pretty hectic and when I have a moment I like to hang out with my little guy. When he got up this morning I mentioned to him that we should go for a ride and look at the country side and possibly go to Theresa, Wisconsin, which is home to Widmer's Cheese Cellars
These folks make amazing cheese and as I drove I thought about the packages I am going to put together for some agent friends; friends that live in too much desert, agent friends that think their state makes good cheese, and unexpected friends that will just enjoy it. Lots of fields went by, many beautiful and glorious cows, rolling hills and meadows, streams and lakes; it was just what makes an afternoon with ones son that more enjoyable.
Widmer's still has the tours while making the cheese and I can tell you their brick cheese, cheddar, muenster cheese is superb, and my son Spencer has been eating cheese curds all day non stop; that leads me to believe they hit home and he gives his approval.
Widmer's has been in business for a long time and they are master cheesemakers. In fact, Wisconsin is the only state that has a master cheesemakers program required. The story of Widmer's Cheese begins over 80 years ago, when our founder, John O. Widmer, left Switzerland to come to America. Dodge County Wisconsin was already one of the most famous cheese producing regions of the world, . As did manySwiss immigrants, John O. Widmer became a cheese maker. John worked in various cheese factories as an apprentice before settling in Theresa Wisconsin in 1922. Widmer's Cheese Cellars offers a Wisconsin original, Wisconsin Brick cheese, a cheese of unsurpassed distinction. Methods for making cheese vary according to the type of cheese, but the basic manufacturing process for all cheese is essentially the same as the one we use to make Widmer Brick. The fresh, sweet milk is picked up at nearby farms and brought to the cheese factory via bulk truck.
