The shop has a fantastic selection of flavored gouda cheeses, locally made by a Dutch lady. We'll definitely stock up before making the trek back South. I'll get more pictures then too. The samples were wonderful. Stop in to try the cheeses or to buy some unique (and beautiful) cutting boards made by a local family. Common theme? Local and tasty!!

I couldn't quite pull the trigger on the 25-year-old cheddar, it was a bit speedy, but there are plenty of other options. I bought three cheeses and some crackers.

We recently got around to trying this original "young" Marieke gouda cheese and it was very nice…read more This is a woman (Marieke) owned business and the cheese is made in Dutch tradition. Gouda is a mild and creamy cheese and sure enough it melts easily as advertised. Thumbs up!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Marieke Gouda! We stop here 3-5 times every summer on our…read moreway back from visiting my mother-in-law, and it's great for both adults and children. The cheese selections are incredible, and they always have a bunch of samples out so you can taste before you commit. The Truffle Gouda is my all-time favorite, with the reserve coming in at a close second place! Everywhere you look, there's food! The employees are friendly, and the service is quick. My kids always get ice cream when we are here, and they have to go visit the cows. There's a playground, a giant jumping pillow, and a track for tricycles. We've never eaten here, but we've taken meals to go plenty of times. We are never disappointed. The restaurant is always busy, and the atmosphere is always full of energy.

The cheese here is amazing! Curds are squeaky fresh, the best in the area. I also buy aged cheddar…read moreand they have some that is 18 years old-so scrumptious!

If you see it, and you like cheese, you're gonna want to pull in. This place is unassuming and nothing special per se, but you're here for cheese. This establishment has processed cheese, Cheese curds, jams/jellies, crackers, etc. The thing here that is awesome is their aged cheddar cheeses and from 10 to, I think, I saw a 20-year-old shard cheddar. All of these cheeses are very reasonably priced. Either way, I need about a couple of pounds of 12-year and some aged brick cheese. They were the best thing ever. I have this on my radar now. Whenever I go to Wausau or Stevens Point, I am hitting this place and stocking up on my cheese.

I put a box together to send home to my family. Horseradish pickles, pepper cheese curds, caramels, coffee and beef sticks. Did buy the cheese curds for my stay here as well as beef sticks.... delicious. Have not yet received the box, but am very excited for the delivery. Definitely worth the stop. Being from New England, I am familiar with honey and syrup, so did not need to purchase those, but there were other delights such as homemade soaps, candies, ice cream and kitchen sundries. On a separate note, had I driven here, I would have gone home with one of their beautiful chairs. Love the year-round porch/deck furniture and these were clearly quality chairs.

Yum! We came here…read moreon a Monday, to buy fresh cheese curds. They are amazing!

It's probably good that we don't live in the area, as we would come often!

I'll be honest, I was a little unsure about what we were going to come across when we pulled off the highway into this town, but I'm so glad we stopped into Le Coulee. It was such a nice little shop with a great selection of cheese (and crackers!!!) and other gift-shop type things. The man working (who may have been the owner?) was so incredibly kind and helpful. We left feeling so satisfied that we got our Wisconsin cheese at the recommendation of a cheese-shop owner and had such a pleasant experience there!

This store is cute, but this is Wisconsin and the bar for a good cheese store is fairly high. This…read moreplace did not clear that bar. Many grocery stores in Wisconsin have more extensive specialty cheese selections than the Cheese Castle. This place is 3 refrigerator sized coolers with cheese (and butter and meat). If looking for a wide variety of cheese, keep looking. If looking for a cute store with cheese and candy and such while in West Salem, than this certainly should be a stop you make. Ie, stop if in town, no need to go out of your way to stop, though.

The bad: the counterperson was working by themself...running short order food, the espresso machine, the ice cream, the drive through and the counter.
