  • The Cheeses That Defined Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese Over 50 Years

    Ron's Wisconsin Cheeses

    When a cheese business lasts 50 years, it’s not just because of a good story — it’s because the products earn their place on the table, year after year.

    As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we’re taking a closer look at the cheeses that helped define Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese and kept customers coming back for decades. These are the products that stood the test of time — not because they followed trends, but because they delivered on quality, consistency, and flavor.


    Cheese Spreads: A Staple From the Start

    Cheese spreads have been a core part of Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese for decades and remain some of our most-loved products today.

    From classic flavors to customer favorites like Herbs & Spice, these spreads became popular because they were versatile, reliable, and always full of flavor. Whether served with crackers, spread on sandwiches, or brought to gatherings, they’ve been part of countless everyday moments and special occasions.

    They aren’t flashy — they’re dependable. And that’s exactly why people keep reaching for them.


    Cheddar: Simple, Honest, and Always in Demand

    Cheddar has always been a cornerstone of what we do.

    Over the years, our cheddar lineup has evolved, but the goal has never changed: clean flavor, proper aging, and consistency you can taste. From mild to sharp, cheddar remains a customer favorite because it’s versatile enough for everyday use and good enough to stand on its own.

    It’s the kind of cheese that doesn’t need explaining — it just needs to be good.


    Cheese Curds: Freshness Matters

    Few products represent Wisconsin cheese culture quite like fresh cheese curds.

    For years, customers have trusted Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese for curds that deliver on texture, flavor, and freshness. Whether enjoyed straight from the bag, fried, or shared at gatherings, curds have become a must-have item for both locals and customers ordering online.

    They’re a reminder that sometimes the simplest products demand the most care.


    Cheese Whips & String Cheese: Fun, Functional Favorites

    Cheese Whips and String Cheese may feel modern, but their popularity comes from the same principles as everything else we make: quality milk, careful production, and attention to detail.

    They’re easy to grab, easy to share, and loved by all ages — which is why they’ve earned a permanent place in our lineup.


    Why These Products Lasted

    Not every product makes it through five decades. The ones that do share a few things in common:

    • Consistent quality
    • Honest ingredients
    • Reliable flavor
    • Real customer demand

    At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, products aren’t kept around because of tradition alone — they stay because customers ask for them again and again.


    50 Years of Favorites — and Counting

    These cheeses helped shape who we are, but they’re also part of where we’re going. As tastes evolve and new ideas take shape, the foundation remains the same: make products people trust and enjoy.

    That commitment is what’s carried Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese through 50 years — and it’s what will guide us into the future.

  • Valentine’s Day Is Better With Cheese

    Valentines Cheese

    Flowers fade. Chocolates disappear.
    Cheese, however, brings people together.

    This Valentine’s Day, skip the predictable gifts and choose Valentine’s Day cheese gifts that invite sharing and connection. Whether you’re planning a cozy night in, building a simple cheese board, or surprising someone with a thoughtful treat, cheese instantly makes Valentine’s Day feel more relaxed, more personal, and far more delicious.


    Why Cheese Works So Well for Valentine’s Day

    Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be extravagant to feel meaningful. In fact, the best celebrations often happen when you slow down, gather around the table, and enjoy good food together.

    Cheese fits the moment perfectly because it:

    • encourages sharing and conversation
    • pairs effortlessly with wine, crackers, fruit, or chocolate
    • feels indulgent without being overdone
    • gives everyone something to enjoy together

    As a result, cheese continues to play a role in celebrations year after year.


    Valentine’s Day Cheese Gifts Everyone Will Love

    Thankfully, creating a memorable Valentine’s Day doesn’t require complicated planning. Instead, a few well-chosen cheeses and simple pairings create an experience that feels thoughtful and intentional.

    When building a Valentine’s cheese board, start with:

    • one bold or sharp cheese to add depth
    • one mild or creamy cheese to balance flavors
    • one snackable option for easy sharing

    Then, add crackers, sliced apples, grapes, or nuts. Altogether, these elements create a board that feels special without feeling overwhelming.


    Choose a Cozy Night In Instead

    Rather than battling crowded restaurants, consider staying in.

    A cheese-centered Valentine’s dinner encourages grazing, conversation, and connection at your own pace. Whether you spread everything out on the kitchen counter or keep it casual on the coffee table, cheese naturally sets the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable evening — no reservations required.


    A Valentine’s Gift That People Actually Use

    When it comes to gifting, thoughtfulness matters more than flash.

    That’s why Valentine’s Day cheese gifts stand out. They feel unexpected, easy to enjoy together, and perfect for couples, friends, or family. More importantly, they create moments — not clutter.

    Pair cheese with a handwritten note, a favorite drink, or a movie night at home, and suddenly the gift feels both personal and practical.


    Celebrate Valentine’s Day the Cheesy Way

    Ultimately, Valentine’s Day is about connection. It’s about slowing down, sharing something good, and enjoying the moment together.

    And just like love, cheese is best when shared.

    🧀 5 Things to Know About Our Cheddar Cheese Curds

    There’s something special about Wisconsin cheddar cheese curds — especially the kind that squeak. At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, curds aren’t just a product. They’re a tradition. They’re a snack. They’re a way of life.

    Whether you’re new to cheese curds or you’ve been buying them from our shop since 1976, here are five things to know about the squeaky favorites we’re proud to call our best-sellers.


    1. They’re Made Fresh on the Farm

    Our cheddar cheese curds are made right here in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, using milk from our own herd. That means they go from cow to curd faster — and fresher — than most cheese ever will. Freshness isn’t just a claim, it’s part of our process.


    2. The Squeak Is Real (And It Matters)

    That signature squeak? It means your curds are ultra-fresh. The squeak happens when the protein structure in the cheese is still intact and bounces against your teeth. The fresher the curd, the louder the squeak. If you know, you know.


    3. We Offer Multiple Flavors

    While our original cheddar curds are the classic choice, we also make crowd favorites like:

    Each batch is handcrafted and vacuum-sealed to lock in flavor and keep that squeak going.


    4. Perfect for Snacking, Sharing, and Frying

    Our curds are a go-to snack, a game day favorite, and the star of many Wisconsin-style fried cheese baskets. Enjoy them straight from the bag, pack them in lunchboxes, or fry them up for an unbeatable treat.


    5. Shipped Fresh. Always.

    Not near Luxemburg? No problem. We ship our cheese curds nationwide, vacuum-sealed and cold-packed so you get farm-fresh squeak delivered to your door.


    Ready to Try Them?

    If you’ve never had a fresh cheddar curd before — or if you’re overdue for a restock — we’ve got a bag (or three) with your name on it.
