This June, the coveted 15-year-aged Hook's cheddar will have a new, older sibling.
Hook's Cheese in Mineral Point recently announced that it will release a 20-year-aged cheddar to limited markets on Monday, June 1.
A story in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that just two days after Larry's Market in Brown Deer started taking pre-orders of quarter- and half-pound chunks of the cheddar, the store had already sold six pounds at $209/pound.
"There's less than 500 pounds of this. That's why the price is so high," said Tony Hook, who with his wife, Julie, founded Hook's Cheese in 1976. "At this point I can't tell you who's going to get what."
