500 Pound Mammoth Cheddar Carved Into A Caputo Christmas Scene

Lake Forest, Ill. (December 20, 2010) – Caputo Cheese Market was the site of a cheese carving spectacular on Saturday, December 18th. Onlookers watched as Sarah Kaufmann, “The Cheese Lady,” carved a Caputo Christmas scene into a 500 pound wheel of Henning’s Wisconsin Cheddar.

Sarah started carving at the Caputo Cheese Market at 7am on Saturday and continued throughout the day until the store closed. As she carved, she explained to interested spectators the specific virtues of the cheddar she was working with, along with her personal artistic cheese history. Store customers watched as Sarah carved a Caputo sleigh, pulled by cow reindeer, carrying Santa Claus and lots of cheese.
