We get asked about Brick cheese all the time, apparently it is hard to find nowadays. We just brought one in from one or our favorite Wisconsin creameries, Widmer Cheese Cellars! $8.49/ 8oz
What is Brick Cheese?
They call brick cheese "the married man's limburger." It's strong enough to satisfy the serious cheese devotee, but mild enough to keep the spouse in the house. When young, brick cheese is deliciously mild. But given some time to ripen, it develops some serious pungency and tang.
The world can thank Wisconsin for this mini stinker. First crafted in the late 1800s and named for the bricks used to press the curds, brick cheese is derived from white American cheddar, but cultured at a higher temperature to produce more fat content and a different protein structure. The result: somewhat softer taste with a deliciously sharper finish.
Slice it for sandwiches, melt it with polenta, or dollop it on your pizza. Brick cheese adds tangy flavor and creamy texture to any dish.
**CURRENTLY ONLY AVAILIBLE AT THE KIRKWOOD AND FORSYTH LOCATIONS!
