Brick cheese has a deliciously complex, earthy flavor with a touch of nuttiness when young, but turns pungent and tangy when aged. Try Brick cheese on a De- troit-style pizza or slice to top a juicy hamburger. Buholzer Brick comes in a 6-pound loaf. Muenster is an orange rind cheese that is semi-firm with a creamy texture that gets even creamier with age. Perfect for grilled cheese, scrambled eggs or pizza. Buholzer Brothers Muen- ster comes in a 6-pound loaf and 15-pound long john. Havarti is a great melting cheese with its creamy, rich but- tery flavor. Slice for grilled cheese, cube on salads or serve on a char- cuterie platter. Buholzer Brothers Havarti comes in 4.5- pound and 9-pound loaves as well as 15- pound long johns. Dill Havarti is available in 4.5-pound and 9- pound loaves.

Dairyfood USA 608.437.5598 www.dairyfoodusa.com Snack Options from Glacier Ridge Farms Blackstone cheese is the first mixed milk cheese produced by Bellwether Farms. It's made with a blend of premium Jersey cow milk and Bellwether Farms sheep milk to get the best of both worlds. The cow milk gives this cheese a wonderful mouthfeel while the sheep contributes a complexity of flavor. The flavor of this delicious table cheese also benefits from a few whole pepper- corns scattered throughout. The cheese is aged for a mini- mum of six to eight weeks, and in the final stage of its aging it re- ceives a hand-applied rind treat- ment of black pepper, rosemary, vegetable ash and safflower oil. The rind is much more than a cos- metic treatment – while slowing mois- ture loss as the cheese ages, it also contributes to the aroma of the cheese and adds complex flavors to the rind. The visual appeal of the rind is striking and reminiscent of the black volcanic outcroppings near the farm. Bellwether Farms www.bellwetherfarms.com Bellwether Farms Blackstone Cheese Hailed by Cook's Illustrated as the best in the nation, Zingerman's Cream Cheese owes its singular greatness to re- search – and antiquity. For this spreadable delight, the creamery based its recipe on one from 1939 that brings out the diverse flavor of the milk. Three other great flavors are available, including Liptauer, a blend of fresh cream cheese with two types of paprika, garlic, sea salt capers, toasted caraway and a touch of anchovy paste; Fresh Goat Cheese, which features a startlingly fresh taste and a sensu- ally creamy tex- ture; and Pimento Cheese, featuring aged raw milk cheddar ground coarsely with slow roasted red pep- pers, Tellicherry black pepper, mayonnaise and just enough cayenne to make it dangerous. Zingerman's Creamery 734.929.0500 www.zingermanscreamery.com Traditional Cream Cheese from Ann Arbor Heritage Ridge Creamery sources the hormone- and antibiotic-free milk for its Pepper Jack Cheese from local farmers, some of them within a one-mile radius of the Middlebury Cheese Plant.

This wonderful-tasting cheese, made with wholesome in- gredients, melts beautifully and can be grated, sliced or cubed to be added to a dish, and it's a fan- tastic cheese for a platter. It pairs w o n d e r f u l l y well with slightly sweet wines such as a Chardonnay or Riesling.
