who we are

We are not cheesemakers, we’re cheese hotrodders. We like to put a twist on classics by asking “what if?” Starting with an inspiration, we experiment with different flavors, cultures, and affinage techniques. Our goal is to imagine something unique—something shareable. 

Our cheeses are our family’s kitchen counter creations come to life at the hands of some of Wisconsin’s greatest Master Cheesemakers. We continuously tweak each recipe with our cheesemaking partners to create cheeses that are characterful, inspiring both the cheese lover and cheese professional with whimsical personality, creative flavor, and consistent quality.
