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.

I am not usually a cheese or wine person. But I had dinner with the Clandestino group (see my…read moreClandestino review) and they offered this cheese as an appetizer. OH MY GOODNESS. I think I felt a little explosion in my mouth, it was sooooooooo good. This cheese just melted in my mouth and the flavor was outstanding! Seriously, it was like buttery cheese. Maybe the cheese tasted so fresh because the owner brought it with him from WI to our dinner? I'm so happy I had a chance to try it, otherwise I might have never heard about this company!

Naturally, they specialize in Goat cheese. I've noticed that they strive hard to produce milder goat cheeses (no doubt to please the local palates). So if you prefer more subtle cheese, you've no need to fear this place. They do also have cows milk cheeses, and one or two sharper goat cheeses too, and don't forget your goat milk butter! Overall this is a good place to stop and get some cheese, but I haven't been blown away by any of their products myself. Still, it's tops in this neck of the woods, and worth a visit to support smaller family farms working together to make natural products.

But they do offer an exceptional pepper jerky that is still better than nearly any of the other butchers I've tried. A better price is key, but it's also just a better flavor. The burgers and even the employees who aren't a skilled worker still have more to offer than anyone calling themselves 'the butcher' at any of the Pic n Slave' (aka Copps) or really most grocery stores these days. Because you are assigned the meat department and know the difference between bologna and turkey doesn't qualify anyone as a butcher. (Unless you're in tRumps cabinet and are a teenage girl who wants to be treated like meat.) The place has the same vibe as an old village or town where it doesn't have anything absurd or flashy to draw in the Walmart crowd. By this I was able to get the ambiance checked off.
