How Snow Cheddar Was Born: A Vision Turned Wisconsin Favorite
Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese Snow Cheddar Products Snow Cheddar didn’t happen by accident. Instead, it began with a challenge, a vision, and the determination of one man to create something extraordinary. At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, we’ve always been proud of our farmstead roots. However, John T. Pagel—founder of Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy and creator of Snow Cheddar—wanted to leave his own mark on Wisconsin cheesemaking.
The True Story Behind Snow Cheddar
From the start, John was determined to create a signature cheese that could be made exclusively at his farmstead cheese operation. He began by tasting several types of cheese and meeting with industry experts. Through these conversations and tastings, he identified the exact flavors, textures, and qualities he wanted in his creation.
With that clear vision, John worked closely with skilled cheesemakers to craft a recipe that would deliver those qualities. Together, they perfected a cheddar with a creamy texture, balanced sharpness, and pure, natural flavor.
Why the Name “Snow”
Choosing the name “Snow” came naturally. John wanted to showcase the cheese’s natural, uncolored appearance, free from the orange color used in many traditional cheddars. Its snowy white color reflects not only Wisconsin winters but also the authenticity of farmstead cheesemaking.
By keeping the cheese’s color pure, John ensured Snow Cheddar would stand out for its craftsmanship and quality.
From Farmstead Vision to Wisconsin Favorite
Once the first batches came out of the creamery, customers responded instantly. They loved the smooth melt, rich flavor, and striking natural color. Word spread quickly, and Snow Cheddar moved from a new experiment to a must-have cheese for families and food lovers.
Today, Snow Cheddar has become one of our most requested cheeses. It’s perfect for a grilled cheese sandwich, adds depth to macaroni and cheese, and elevates any cheese board. Every wheel still comes from fresh milk from our farm and is crafted with the same care John poured into the very first batch.
A Legacy in Every Bite
Snow Cheddar is more than a product—it’s a true testament to John T. Pagel’s dedication to producing authentic, high-quality cheese on his farmstead operation. Every decision—from the selection of flavors to the choice to keep its natural ivory color—reflects his passion for cheesemaking.
If you’ve never tried Snow Cheddar, now is the time. It’s a cheese born from vision, crafted with care, and loved across Wisconsin and beyond.
