Pleasant Ridge Reserve

Pleasant Ridge Reserve is an American cheese produced in Wisconsin by Mike Gingrich. Modelled on Beaufort and Gruyere, this cheese is made from raw cow's milk only from May to October. Underneath its washed rind, the texture is smooth, firm, and dense.

The flavors are full, rich, nutty, grassy, and creamy. A small batch of Pleasant Ridge Reserve is aged for more than a year, and it's then sold as Extra Aged in the fall and early winter. It's recommended to pair it with a glass of dry Champagne or Chardonnay.
