    a brick building with a sign that reads carr valley cheese

    Great unassuming cheese shop. They had a good amountof samples still out even though we came towards the end of the day. The smoked pepper jack was AMAZING!! Picked up some sale cheddar too. Lots of options available and too many good things to buy. They also had fresh curds too! Would definitely go back.

    I grew up getting to go to this cheese factory as a child my Grandpa grew up a bikes ride away from this location and would tell me stories about doing some work over there to help out as he got older. Needless to say this place holds a special place in my heart and fortunately has the worlds best cheese. Whenever I get to Wi I make a point to get there once, sometimes twice. This is the best cheese in the world. I also love Tillamook, Beechers and other small places Ive been fortunate to go but if you're ever in the Dells or Lime Ridge get to Carr Valley. I also order online and it's a great alternative. All the varieties of curds are my favorite for gift giving. The people that work there are so kind and there are a lot samples available.

    On our road trip, we just had to pull over at Carr Valley Cheese because of the giant mouse holding…read morecheese by the highway (seriously, you can't miss it). As soon as you walk in, the bakery is on the right, and everything there is massive. Think cookies and pastries that are basically double the normal size but not price! But the real magic happens on the left side, in the cheese shop. They've got jams, pickled goodies, and what feels like hundreds of different cheeses. We grabbed some of their famous fresh cheese curds (so good!) along with a few other cheeses from the fridge. Pro tip: check out the discount section towards the left fridge at the back --25% off cheeses that are still good until 2026? They even have free samples in the back, which made it extra fun to explore. Such a perfect little road trip stop.

    What a wonderful petit cheese shop! We stopped here as we traveled through and we were very glad we…read moredid! I tasted the chipotle cheddar and it was not hot or aggressive. It was buttery and delicious. They have a HUGE selection of cheeses! A good test of freshness is the cheese is the cheese curd should squeak when they are bitten. These did and they were soft, buttery and delicious! Maybe the best I've ever had! We bought curds (of course) , jalapeño bread cheese, Airco cheese and a 10 year old cheddar. Staff was young people, quiet but very helpful when asked. Need cheese? Stop here!

There are a ton of tastes (and textures) and they're all a little different, and I like them all! Maybe one day I'll develop enough of a palate to have a favorite, but for now, they're all good!!

    Pleasant Ridge Reserve, the signature cheese of the Uplands Cheese Company, may be one of the…read moresingle most perfect hard cows milk cheese made in the US. A traditionally made cheese in the style of alpine cheeses from southwestern France, Pleasant Ridge Reserve is made only during the months when cows graze on grasses, sweet clover, and wild herbs, giving their milk a depth of flavor not usually found in most cheeses from year-round milkers grazing on silage and grain. This award winning cheese (just go to their website to see how many accolades they've earned...it is simply awesome) is a favorite both here in the Midwest and all over the country. For those of us lucky to live in Chicago, it is on the menu of many local restaurants, who use it both on cheese plates and in more complex dishes. During a recent visit to Hot Chocolate on Damen, for example, I had a Pleasant Ridge Reserve-filled brioche. I think this cheese is better to eat out of hand than to incorporate in a recipe - with heating, many of the subtleties of texture and flavor are lost. Seek it out. And if you do find it in a cheese shop, make sure the piece you get does not touch plastic. Because plastic is the enemy of all cheese. If it must touch plastic, make sure you get it out as soon as possible and put in proper cheese paper or wax paper and foil. And eat it right away - it isn't going to get any better in your fridge. Uplands isn't open to the public, but if you call ahead they may just accomodate you. The trip through the lush, rolling hills of southern Wisconsin is an agrarian's dream.
