You may think Wisconsin has cornered the market on cheese, but the Minnesota has a few tricks up its sleeve. More than a few, in fact. Across the Land of 10,000 Lakes, creameries and cheese stores are focused on making and selling the best cheese you can get. One of the best spots is a cheese restaurant and store in the southern Minnesota town of Faribault. There, the Cheese Cave draws in cheese lovers from across the state and beyond. Even people from America’s Dairyland sneak over the border to have a taste.

The Cheese Cave is tucked away in one of the most charming downtowns in the state. You'll find it at 318 Central Avenue North in Faribault, Minnesota.
