There is a convenience store at Maustin along that route that has a pretty good cheese selection as well as New Glarus beer we stop at.  Not sure where Bloomer is though.

Was trying to think of a good place around J-ville & found out the couple I knew of had been closed for years. Might just hit up the cheese section at most any Woodman's. They stock a majority of the good cheeses found in this state. Unless you really have a penchant to visit a cheese store, of course. Think all the good Ma & Pa stores in that area are gone too.

The times..... they are a changin'....

While ur shopping, look for Vern’s string cheese. Malcores cheese curds & Laacks or Star dairy brick cheese of 1C51346C-7E85-401D-9FB2-432A66B4AC9D.thumb.jpeg.89b32d33eb96b47dfd6c9c0de60942a5.jpegvarious flavors. Always grab cheese curds from the far back of the pile. As they will be the freshest & most squeaky.

Looks like Woodmans grocery store is just west of the interstate on hwy 14. They will have the the largest selection u will find of cheese anywhere. Or anything else for that matter. Love that store.

Whenever I go that way I always stop at Kugels cheese store in Lena Wisconsin, about a half hour north of green bay and maybe just a tad out of your way. They are right next to a cheese factory and usually have fresh cheese curds.

Why, would someone with access to Cabot want some of that swill? Like buying NY syrup. 

I bought some Cabot "Seriously Sharp" yellow cheddar last weekend to put in some quiche (daughters requested their dad make quiche for fathers' day - how's that work?).

It's seriously good.  Will buy more.

I suspect that’s what he meant. We don’t need to cover anything up here , so we don’t need to dye our cheese orange 😉

seriously though, vt cheddar is known to be dryer and more bitter than other cheeses.

That’s what I like I did get some really nice sharp cheddar in upstate New York at a nice little Menenite store  a few years ago some nice 9 year  old aged cheddar

No, it's seriously yellow.  They had white also.

Vern's also has delicious aged sharp cheddar.  Chilton is a long ways from where you will be, but I buy it at a little store in Prairie du Chien so I assume you can find it at other stores too.

You are too far south, I would have said Nelson Cheese factory otherwise.

I assume you are referring to the Nelson Cheese factory/creamery?  When I was a kid my aunt and uncle had a place on lake Pepin.  I loved going over to Nelson for ice cream and cheese.
