Just as cheesy as can be!

One of my favorite hangouts in the store is the cheese case in front of the deli island. I’m excited to share that that cheese case is only going to get better — we will soon be getting yet another cheese case! We expect our new cheese case to be in place on or around April 6th. In the new cheese case, Wisconsin Rules! Only items that are crafted here in our great state will be allowed to reside in the new cheese case. Look for items from Wisconsin’s Finest, Crave Brothers, Bucky Badger, Carr Valley, Hooks, Cedar Grove, and BelGioiso, plus a lot more. And yes, we will have a supply of the highly sought after Hook’s 15-year aged Cheddar around that time as well by request only at the Deli.

Some recent arrivals by customer request in my International Cheese Case are:

* Appenzeller and Emmentaler from Switzerland
* Jarlsberg & Jarlsberg light from Norway (also available sliced in the deli)
* Manchego from Spain
* Marquis de Lafayette Brie & Camembert Tins from France
* Halloumi, Kasseri, Feta, and Barrel-aged Feta from Greece
* Brie Fleur De France from France
* Life in Provence Roquefort from France
* Eplorateur and Delice de Bourgogne from France
* Moondara soft cheese flavored with everything from Chili spice, Apricot & Almond, Honey & Pistachio, to Melon & Mango.

Lunch just got better!

I am very happy to see so many people going after the fresh grilled panini sandwiches. Some of our favorites are Ham & Muenster, Turkey and Cheddar, and the Reuben. We will be adding some new ones and trying some new recipes like Pizza Panini, BBQ Chicken Panini, Chicken Caesar Panini, and a Blue Cheese & Scallion Roast Beef Panini. Feel free to offer suggestions or comments about which ones rock, and which ones need work.

Share and Enjoy:
