Wisconsin turns to artisan cheeses

With California producing nearly as much cheese as Wisconsin last year (2 billion pounds and 2.4 billion pounds, respectively) the Badger state is turning to artisan and specialty cheeses to help them stay in the game. A recent story in the Wisconsin State Journal spotlights a few of the growing number of specialty cheesemakers in Wisconsin, like Uplands Cheese Company, makers of Pleasant Ridge Reserve (right). Experts predict that in the next 10 years, high-end cheeses like these will make up about half of Wisconsin's cheese production. Uplands went from making 6,000 pounds in 2000 to 60,000 last year, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.
