  • From Cow to Curd: How We Craft Farm-Fresh Cheese in Kewaunee

    Cows

    The Heart of Every Great Cheese

    At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, great flavor starts long before the cheesemaking. It begins on our family farm in Kewaunee, where every morning’s milk comes from cows we raise and care for ourselves.

    Because the milk never leaves the property, it travels only 90 seconds from our parlor to the cheese plant — keeping it as fresh as possible. That’s what makes our cheese truly farmstead: made start-to-finish right here, from our cows to your table.

    Step 1: It Starts with Exceptional Milk

    Our cows are the foundation of everything we do. They’re fed a balanced diet grown right on our land — corn silage, haylage, and grains that keep them healthy and happy year-round.

    Fresh milk is collected daily and tested for quality before it ever reaches the cheese vat. This hands-on care is what sets farmstead cheesemaking apart from factory production — every batch begins with pride, not just process.

    Step 2: Turning Milk into Curds

    Once the milk reaches our creamery, our cheesemakers heat and culture it with precision. The curds that form are cut, stirred, and gently cooked until they reach the perfect texture — squeaky, tender, and full of character.

    This is where favorites like our fresh cheese curds and Snow Cheddar begin their journey. From there, they’re pressed and aged depending on the final cheese style.

    Step 3: Aging, Flavor, and Wisconsin Craftsmanship

    Some cheeses — like Snow Cheddar, aged 2 years — develop a rich, nutty flavor over time. Others, like our spreads, capture that same creamy Wisconsin richness in a smooth, ready-to-serve form.

    No matter the style, every wheel, block, or curd that leaves our plant represents the same promise: crafted on-site, by people who care, using milk from cows we know by name.

    Why Farmstead Matters

    When you choose farmstead cheese, you’re supporting more than local food — you’re supporting a Wisconsin tradition that values hard work, transparency, and quality over shortcuts.

    You taste the difference in every bite: fresher flavor, fuller texture, and the satisfaction of knowing exactly where your cheese comes from.

  • Your Thanksgiving Cheese Board Game Plan

    Gather, Graze, and Give Thanks

    Thanksgiving isn’t just about the turkey — it’s about gathering, grazing, and sharing food that brings people together. A beautiful Wisconsin cheese board sets the stage for connection, conversation, and flavor before the main feast even begins.

    This year, create a spread that’s equal parts rustic and refined using Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese — handcrafted right on our Kewaunee farm. From squeaky curds to creamy spreads, it’s everything you need for a board that looks stunning and tastes unforgettable.

    Step 1: Choose 3–5 Cheeses

    Variety is the key to a great cheese board. Mix textures, colors, and flavor profiles for balance.

    Ron’s picks for the holiday table:

    • 🧀 Snow Cheddar – Naturally white with nutty, sweet notes that pair beautifully with cranberries or apples.
    • 🧀 Three Pepper Cheddar – Bold and Spicy, complex depth; perfect for bold palates.
    • 🧀 Cheese Spreads – Easy, creamy, and crowd-pleasing; serve with pretzels or crostini.
    • 🧀 Fresh Cheese Curds – For snacking while you cook (or to keep kids happy before dinner!).

    👉 Shop All Wisconsin Cheeses →

    Step 2: Add Complementary Flavors

    Think salty, sweet, crunchy, and fresh. Surround your cheeses with pairings that highlight Wisconsin’s best fall flavors.

    Try adding:

    • Local meats like summer sausage or smoked turkey
    • Cranberry chutney, fig jam, or honey
    • Sliced apples, pears, or grapes
    • Roasted nuts (pecans, almonds, or walnuts)
    • Artisan crackers or rustic bread

    The goal? Every bite should have contrast — creamy + crunchy, sharp + sweet, simple + surprising.

    Step 3: Presentation Makes It Special

    Choose a large wooden board or slate. Start with the cheeses first, spacing them evenly. Then fill the gaps with fruits, nuts, and crackers.

    Add a few cheese knives or spreaders, label each cheese, and garnish with sprigs of rosemary or thyme for a festive touch.

    Pro tip: Let cheese sit out for about 30 minutes before serving — it enhances the flavor and aroma.

    Step 4: Pair It Like a Pro

    Round out the experience with Wisconsin-inspired drinks:

    • Wine: Pinot Noir or Chardonnay with Snow Cheddar.
    • Beer: Amber ales or malty lagers pair beautifully with aged cheddar.

    Step 5: Keep the Celebration Going

    After the feast, your guests will ask where the cheese came from — and that’s your cue to share!

    Encourage them to explore Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese Gift Boxes. They make perfect hostess gifts or thank-you surprises throughout the holiday season.

    🧡 From Our Farm to Your Feast

    Whether you’re setting the table for family or friends, a handcrafted Wisconsin cheese board makes Thanksgiving more memorable.

  • 10 Reasons Wisconsin Cheese is the Best in the World

    Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin Logo

    When it comes to cheese, Wisconsin doesn’t just compete — it dominates. Known as America’s Dairyland, our state has built a global reputation for quality, craftsmanship, and variety. But what makes Wisconsin cheese truly stand out? Here are 10 reasons it’s considered the best in the world.

    1. Generations of Cheesemaking Tradition

    Wisconsin’s cheesemaking history stretches back to the mid-1800s, when European immigrants brought their skills to the fertile hills of the Midwest. Each generation has added to the craft, blending old-world methods with new innovations.

    2. The Perfect Environment for Dairy Cows

    Cool weather, lush pastures, and fresh water make Wisconsin ideal for raising healthy, happy cows. Great milk means great cheese — and our dairy farmers take that seriously.

    3. More Varieties Than Anywhere Else

    Wisconsin produces over 600 types, styles, and varieties of cheese, from squeaky curds to aged cheddars, blue cheeses, and artisan specialties.

    4. The Master Cheesemaker Program

    We’re the only state with the prestigious Master Cheesemaker Program, often called the “Ph.D. of cheese.” It takes years of training and testing to earn the title, and Wisconsin leads the nation in certified masters.

    5. Commitment to Quality Standards

    Since 1994, Wisconsin has required cheesemaker licensing — the only U.S. state to do so. That means every wheel and wedge is crafted under the care of a licensed professional.

    6. Innovation Meets Tradition

    From classic cheddar to unique creations like Snow Cheddar, Wisconsin cheesemakers aren’t afraid to experiment while honoring time-tested techniques.

    7. A Strong Farm-to-Table Connection

    Many Wisconsin cheesemakers, including Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, operate farmstead creameries. They use milk from their own cows, ensuring freshness, consistency, and full control from pasture to plate.

    8. Award-Winning Excellence

    Wisconsin cheeses regularly win top honors at national and international competitions — proof that quality here is more than a marketing claim.

    9. A Culture That Celebrates Cheese

    From cheese curd festivals to roadside cheese shops, Wisconsin celebrates cheese year-round. It’s not just food — it’s part of who we are.

    10. Passion You Can Taste

    Wisconsin cheesemakers pour pride, skill, and heart into every batch. That passion is what makes the difference when you take your first bite.

    From the lush pastures of Kewaunee County to your dinner table, Wisconsin cheese carries a story in every slice. Taste the difference for yourself — because when it comes to cheese, there’s simply no place like Wisconsin.

  • How We Celebrate Fall on the Farm

    Chopping Corn Silage
    Chopping Corn Silage

    Cool mornings, changing leaves, and the season that brings us back to our roots.

    Fall is a special time here at Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese and Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy. As the leaves turn golden across the fields and the air gets crisp, the farm takes on a new rhythm — one that reminds us why we love what we do.

    While most people see fall as sweater weather and pumpkin patches, we see it as a celebration of harvest, heritage, and hard work.

    Here’s a look at how we celebrate fall on the farm — and how the season shapes the cheese you love.

    🍁 Morning Milking, Fog & Flannels

    The sun rises a little later in the fall, and the early mornings are filled with fog rolling over the hills. Our team bundles up in hoodies and flannel shirts as the cows make their way to the parlor. There’s a peaceful stillness in fall mornings — and it’s one of the best times to be on the farm.

    We’re still milking every day, still checking on our herd, and still producing the same high-quality milk that goes into every block of cheddar and every bag of curds. But there’s something extra satisfying about working in the brisk autumn air.

    🎃 Harvest Time & Field Work

    Fall is when the land gives back. Corn silage is harvested, feed is stored for winter, and equipment is tuned for the colder months ahead. The days are full, but there’s a shared sense of pride in getting the farm ready for the next season.

    Our cows are well-fed all year, but during fall, their diet shifts to include fresh silage — which impacts the richness of the milk and, in turn, the flavor of our cheeses. It’s just one more reason why cheddar tastes especially good in fall.

    🧀 Cheese Curds, Campfires & County Events

    It wouldn’t be fall in Wisconsin without cheese curds around the campfire. Whether we’re tailgating, enjoying hayrides with the kids, or hosting local food events, we always have a cooler of curds and a few blocks of aged cheddar ready to share.

    You’ll often find us at local markets, tastings, or even around the bonfire with neighbors. Fall is about slowing down, connecting, and sharing what we’ve made.

    🍂 Family Traditions That Matter

    Fall is when our team members gather for harvest dinners, staff appreciation days, and cheese board potlucks (yes, those are a thing). It’s also when our community steps up — helping each other with fieldwork, bringing soup to the office, or stopping by with apple crisp.

    Our farm isn’t just a workplace — it’s a family. And in fall, that sense of community feels stronger than ever.

    🛒 Celebrate Fall with Us

    You may not be on the farm with us, but you can enjoy fall the way we do — with bold, creamy, flavorful cheeses that capture the richness of the season.

  • How to Host a Fall Cheese Tasting at Home

    Fall Cheese Tasting

    Bring the charm of a farmstead cheese tasting into your own kitchen by hosting a fall cheese tasting.

    Crisp weather, cozy lighting, and bold seasonal flavors — fall is the perfect time to gather friends, pour a glass of wine, and explore the richness of Wisconsin cheese. You don’t need a winery or a specialty shop to host a tasting. With a few simple tips and the right cheeses, you can create an unforgettable experience right at home.

    Here’s how to do it, Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese-style.

    🧀 Step 1: Choose Your Cheeses

    A great tasting includes 3–5 cheeses that offer a range of:

    • Ages – from young and mild to aged and sharp
    • Textures – creamy, firm, and crumbly
    • Flavors – mild, nutty, smoky, or bold

    🧡 Fall Tasting Picks from Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese

    • Snow Cheddar – smooth, naturally white, with sweet-nutty notes
    • 5- or 10-Year Aged Cheddar – crumbly, complex, and packed with flavor
    • Smoked String Cheese – smoky, fun to peel, and perfect with fall beers
    • Cheese Curds – try Garlic Dill or Classic for that irresistible squeak

    🍎 Step 2: Add Fall-Friendly Pairings

    Balance your cheese board with sweet, savory, and crunchy elements. Here are some fall pairings your guests will love:

    🍏 Fruits & Veggies

    • Sliced apples, pears, dried figs, roasted beets

    🌰 Nuts & Crunch

    • Maple-glazed pecans, roasted pumpkin seeds, whole-grain crackers

    🍞 Spreads & Accents

    • Apple butter, cranberry chutney, fig jam, spicy mustard

    🥓 Proteins

    • Prosciutto, smoked turkey, or venison sausage

    🍷 Step 3: Pair With Fall Drinks

    Offer a mix of beverages that complement your cheese flavors:

    • Hard cider – bright and crisp with sharp cheddar
    • Pinot Noir or Cabernet – perfect with aged cheeses
    • Pumpkin ale or Oktoberfest beer – enhances smoky or nutty notes
    • Hot mulled cider – cozy non-alcoholic pairing for fall nights

    🧾 Step 4: Create a Fall Cheese Tasting Order

    Taste from mild to bold so each cheese shines:

    1. Snow Cheddar
    2. Smoked String Cheese
    3. Cheese Curds
    4. 5-Year Aged Cheddar
    5. 10-Year Aged Cheddar

    Let guests try each cheese on its own, then with a pairing — and take notes on their favorites!

    ✏️ Step 5: Add a Personal Touch

    Make your tasting feel extra special by:

    • Printing simple menus or cheese name cards
    • Offering blank scorecards for tasting notes
    • Labeling pairings with chalkboard signs or small tags

    🧀 Host with Cheese That Tells a Story

    At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, every cheese we make is farmstead crafted — meaning we raise the cows, milk them on-site, and craft the cheese ourselves in small batches. It’s a difference you can taste, and it’s what makes our cheese the perfect centerpiece for your fall gatherings.

    So grab your favorite cheeses, pour something cozy, and celebrate the season the Wisconsin way — with great friends, great flavor, and plenty of squeak.

  • Cheddar & Apples: A Fall Flavor Match Made in Wisconsin

    Sweet meets sharp in one of the Midwest’s most iconic seasonal pairings.

    As the leaves turn and apple orchards fill with fresh-picked fruit, there’s one flavor combo we come back to every fall: cheddar and apples.

    It’s sweet. It’s savory. And it’s surprisingly versatile — whether you’re building a cozy cheese board or baking up comfort food. At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, we think fall is the perfect time to pair our farmstead cheddar with Wisconsin’s best apples.

    Here’s how to make the most of this autumn classic.

    🧀 Why Cheddar and Apples Work So Well

    It comes down to contrast. Apples bring sweetness, acidity, and crunch. Cheddar adds richness, salt, and sharpness. The result is a perfect flavor balance — and when both are high-quality, the pairing shines.

    Think of it like peanut butter and jelly — but a lot more gourmet.

    🍎 Best Apples to Pair with Ron’s Cheddar

    Here are a few of our favorite apple varieties and how they pair with our cheeses:

    🧀 Our Favorite Ways to Enjoy Apples & Cheddar

    🧺 1. On a Cheese Board

    Slice up fresh apples and serve them with cubes of Snow Cheddar. Add fig jam, spiced nuts, and a drizzle of honey.

    🥪 2. Grilled Cheese with Apple Slices

    Layer thin apple slices inside a grilled cheese with aged cheddar on sourdough. Press until crisp and golden — it’s pure comfort food.

    🥧 3. Cheddar Apple Hand Pies

    Add shredded Snow Cheddar to apple pie filling or crust dough for a savory-sweet twist. Great for fall picnics or Thanksgiving apps.

    🥗 4. Apple & Cheddar Harvest Salad

    Toss mixed greens with apple slices, roasted squash, sharp cheddar cubes, and maple vinaigrette. It’s autumn in a bowl.

    🛒 Make It a Pairing to Remember

    All of our cheddars — from smooth and creamy to sharp and aged — are made with milk from our own cows, right here in Wisconsin.

    So when you grab a fresh bag of apples from the orchard, pair them with a cheese you can trust.
