Uplands Cheese - Pleasant Ridge Reserve, Wisconsin (priced per ounce)

Uplands Cheese in Wisconsin produces only two cheeses, and Pleasant Ridge Reserve is among the most decorated in American history. It has won three Best of Show awards from the American Cheese Society (2001, 2005, 2010) and the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest in 2003 — the only cheese ever to claim both major overall titles.

Made exclusively from the summer milk of pasture-raised cows, this alpine-style cheese is complex and deeply satisfying: lush, sweet, and fruity on the palate with an extraordinarily long finish. Priced per ounce.
