The Traditional Washed Rind Brick Cheese made by Widmer's Cheese Cellars, Inc. is a celebrated cheese with deep roots in Wisconsin's dairy craftsmanship. This cheese is known for its distinctive orange-brown washed rind, which is achieved by regularly washing the cheese with a special solution during the aging process.


The interior boasts a smooth, creamy texture with a robust, tangy flavor that becomes more pronounced as it ages. Its aroma is pungent, which is characteristic of true artisan washed rind cheeses. Widmer's Cheese Cellars, a family-owned and operated business, has been producing high-quality cheeses since 1922, ensuring traditional methods and recipes are upheld.
