Hay-Fed Milk Spruces Up New Uplands ‘Winter’ Cheese

Uplands Cheese Co., the Dodgeville [Wisconsin] farmstead that for 10 years was devoted to making only one kind of cheese, Pleasant Ridge Reserve, for which it has won numerous national honors, brings a new cheese to market this month, a creamy cheese called Rush Creek Reserve, named for the creek that runs through the farm.

Cheesemaker Andy Hatch introduced Rush Creek at the Madison Cheese Festival this past weekend. It will sell locally at Larry's Market in Brown Deer beginning this week and possibly other Milwaukee stores later this month.

Hatch describes Rush Creek Reserve as an Alpine-style, raw-milk "winter" cheese, aged 60 days, made from hay-fed cow's milk.
