Cozy Up with Fall Flavors: 4 Wisconsin Cheeses Made for the Season
There’s something about fall in Wisconsin that makes good cheese taste even better. Crisp afternoons, changing leaves, football weekends, cozy nights at home—and a cheese board loaded with Wisconsin favorites.
This season, we’re reaching for four cheeses that fit right in with everything we love about fall: Apple Cinnamon Cheddar, Cranberry White Cheddar, 5-Year Aged Cheddar, and Gouda.
From sweet and seasonal to bold and aged, there’s a little something for every cheese lover.
Apple Cinnamon Cheddar: A Taste of Fall
Apples and fall just belong together—and adding Wisconsin cheddar makes the combination even better.
Our Apple Cinnamon Cheddar brings together creamy cheddar with sweet apple and warm cinnamon flavor. It’s a fun addition to a fall cheese board and an easy cheese to set out when you’re entertaining.
Try it with fresh apple slices, buttery crackers, toasted nuts, or a drizzle of honey. And don’t overlook it as a snack all on its own.
Perfect for: Fall gatherings, apple season, snacking and seasonal cheese boards.
Cranberry White Cheddar: Sweet Meets Savory
Tart cranberry and creamy white cheddar make this one of those combinations that keeps you coming back for another bite.
Our Cranberry White Cheddar brings just enough sweetness to balance the savory cheddar. Pair it with crackers, apples or pears, nuts, and summer sausage for an easy fall spread.
It’s also a great cheese to carry you from the first cool days of fall straight into Thanksgiving and the holiday season.
Perfect for: Entertaining, charcuterie boards, Thanksgiving appetizers and gifting.
5-Year Aged Cheddar: Worth the Wait
Sometimes you just can’t beat a great aged Wisconsin cheddar.
Our 5-Year Aged Cheddar delivers the bold, sharp flavor that cheddar lovers look for. Five years of aging creates a richer, more developed flavor that makes this cheese just as good served simply as it is incorporated into a larger spread.
Give it a place of honor on your fall cheese board alongside summer sausage, crackers, apples, preserves, or your favorite beverage.
Perfect for: Cheddar lovers, football weekends, entertaining and cozy nights at home.
Gouda: The Crowd-Pleaser
Smooth, creamy and easy to love, Gouda is the cheese that rounds everything out.
Its approachable flavor makes it an easy pairing with the sweeter flavors of fall while offering a contrast to a sharp aged cheddar. Try it with crisp apples, pears, crackers, summer sausage, nuts, or a sweet spread.
And if you’re putting together a board for a crowd, Gouda is always a good cheese to have within reach.
Perfect for: Snacking, entertaining, cheese boards and everyday enjoyment.
