    Mmmm... Cedar Crest!
    Mimi J.

    It may look like a gas station in the middle of nowhere, but it's really the premiere cheese, sandwich, and ice cream shop located conveniently near the Lake Summerset community. When we get the hankering for a deliciously creamy Cedar Crest ice cream cone or a sandwich on our way home this is our favorite stop. The dining area is tiny with only a couple of tables, but it is decorated in cheery red and white and has a country charm. The girls who work here are friendly and love to chat and get to know all their customers. I've always come here for the ice cream cones (loved the Graham Central Station flavor with graham flavored ice cream with graham cracker swirl and chocolate coated candy pieces!) but they advertise that they carry over 70 kinds of cheese! Now that's pretty cheesy!

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.
