Wisconsin, USA

Wisconsin’s 1,200 cheesemakers—many of which are third- and fourth-generation cheesemakers—produce more than 600 varieties, types and styles of cheese. They continue the time-tested old-world traditions of their ancestors and incorporate the newest technology. Throughout the process, they set new standards of excellence in cheesemaking craftsmanship and artistry. It's no wonder Wisconsin cheese wins more awards than any U.S. state or nation in the world.
