Colby is an American cheese originating from the city of Colby in Wisconsin. This semi-hard cheese is made with cow's milk and has a firm, springy, and open texture. Its flavors are mild, creamy, and sweet, so Colby is often used in hamburgers, grilled sandwiches, fajitas, or served with apples, pears, and rye bread.


Colby is sometimes compared to cheddar, even though these two cheeses taste different – Colby is softer, it has a higher moisture content, and the curd is washed, which reduces the acids in the cheese, making it less tangy.

Bohemian Blue is an American blue cheese produced by Hidden Springs Creamery in Wisconsin. The cheese is made with sheep's milk and its texture is crumbly and dry. It typically ages for 4 to 6 weeks and develops a piquant, sweet, and slightly sour flavor.


Bohemian Blue is easily distinguished by its label, which reads ''For people with artistic or literary interests who disregard conventional standards of behavior.'' The cheese was invented when there was a dispute between America and France – the French threatened to impose a 300% tariff on Roquefort, and the families Jensen and Hook decided to produce this cave-aged rindless blue cheese.
