Rush Creek Reserve

Every year we wait for this cheese and every year we are happy when it arrives. It is made by the Uplands Cheese Co in Dodgeville, WI - the same people who produce America's most decorated cheese - Pleasant Ridge Reserve. Produced only in the fall, as the diet of the cows begins to change from summer pasture to the winter’s dry hay. This rich milk is perfect for a cheese like Rush Creek, so soft and decadent that it’s often referred to as savory custard. Each cheese is wrapped in spruce bark, which gives shape to the cheese and imparts a subtle woodsy flavor. To serve, bring the cheese to room temperature by leaving it out or gently warming it in the oven. When the interior is molten, cut around the perimeter of the cheese right next to the bark and peel back the rind. Grab a spoon and scoop!
