  • Holiday Appetizers Made Better with Wisconsin Cheese

    Make Every Gathering a Little Cheesier

    The holidays are full of moments that bring people together — cookie swaps, office parties, and family get-togethers. And whether it’s casual snacking or a sit-down dinner, every celebration gets better with real Wisconsin cheese.

    At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, we make entertaining easy with handcrafted cheeses that taste like home. From our squeaky fresh curds to creamy spreads and naturally white Snow Cheddar, these are the flavors that turn simple holiday appetizers into show-stoppers.


    🧀 1. Mini Cheddar Bites

    What you need:

    • Cubes of Snow Cheddar
    • Cherry tomatoes
    • Fresh basil or rosemary sprigs
    • Toothpicks

    Stack and skewer — that’s it! These bright little bites look festive on a platter and balance sharp cheddar with juicy, sweet tomato.


    🧀 2. Warm Cheese Spread Dip

    What you need:

    • 1 cup of Ron’s Cheese Spread (any flavor)
    • ¼ cup sour cream
    • A dash of garlic powder or paprika

    Mix and bake for 15 minutes at 350°F until bubbly. Serve with pretzels, crostini, or even fresh veggies. It’s creamy, cozy, and crowd-pleasing.


    🧀 3. Cheese Curd Crostini

    What you need:

    • Fresh cheese curds
    • Toasted baguette slices
    • Cranberry chutney or fig jam

    Spread jam on toast, top with a warm curd, and watch guests hover over the tray. Sweet-and-salty perfection.


    🧀 4. Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms

    What you need:

    • Button mushrooms
    • Shredded Snow Cheddar
    • Bread crumbs and herbs

    Fill, bake, and serve — the nutty cheddar adds depth and Wisconsin-style comfort to every bite.


    🧀 5. The Quick Holiday Board

    Don’t overthink it. Combine three cheeses, two snacks, and one sweet element:

    • Cheeses: Snow Cheddar, curds, spread
    • Snacks: Crackers, nuts, summer sausage
    • Sweets: Grapes or chocolate-covered cherries

    Arrange on a wooden board, add festive greenery, and you’ve got an appetizer and centerpiece in one.

    From Our Farm to Your Party

    All our cheeses come straight from our Kewaunee creamery, made with milk from our own cows. That freshness means your holiday appetizers taste richer, creamier, and more authentic — true Wisconsin quality in every bite.

    Whether you’re hosting or gifting, cheese brings people together. And this holiday season, that’s what matters most.
