As the weather warms to that perfectly pleasant midpoint between spring’s bitter chills and summer’s paralyzing humidity, the time to enjoy a picnic at the park is now. We all know that no meal is complete without a little cheese, so you need something that travels well and can please all the palates at your picnic or BBQ. Don’t worry, we’ve got the perfect cheese for you. Pack up some toasted nuts, a can of wine and a wedge of our June Cheese of the Month: Jeffs’ Select Gouda.
This Midwest original cheese is a collaboration between two cheese experts, both named Jeff. Master cheese maker Jeff Wideman makes the cheese at Maple Leaf Cheese in Wisconsin, while expert affineur (someone who ages cheese professionally) Jeff Jirik ages and finishes the Gouda in the sprawling sandstone caves of Faribault Dairy Company in Minnesota.
