It has a soft silky texture that turns custard-like as it develops. Brick Cheese is among Americas first washed rind cheeses invented in 1877 in Wisconsin by Swiss immigrant John Jossi. Widmer's still uses the same bricks that Founder John O. Widmer used in 1922 to press the cheese. After spending 11 hours in the alt brine, the cheeses are laced in the curing room where they are washed daily for seven to 10 days before being packed in parchment and foil wrappers, where they continue to mature and reach peak flavor in four to five months. The cheese has an earthy full bodied flavor that cheese lovers swoon over. — — $20 each $12.99 - $15.99/lb. 6/7-ounce wheels — SHEEP MILK CHEESES Green Dirt Farm 816.386.2156 www.greendirtfarm.com Savello USA info@savellousa.com Wisconsin Sheep Dairy Cooperative 715.353.2575 www.sheepmilk.biz Fresh Savello Di Roma Dante Lamb — — $15.40/lb.
