Baker Cheese is loaded between Sheboygan and Fond du Lac in the rural community of St. Cloud. It’s a scenic area that’s just west of the Kettle Moraine State Forest.
The company has long and deep roots. It was founded back in 1916 and has been making string cheese for more than 30 years. It’s marketed in the Upper Midwest under the Baker Cheese label, as well as around the world under many different private labels.
The cheese is incredibly fresh. It uses high-quality milk, and the cheesemaking process takes just 48 hours for the company to transform fresh milk into delicious cheese.
Baker Cheese has a number of string varieties, including regular, light and smoked string cheese. It’s available in a variety of sizes, from one to pounds. It also makes little string cheese niblets.
Judges have taken notice. Baker Cheese has won some big awards – it has been judged the best string cheese in the United States as well as the best flavored string cheese in the world!
When you taste this cheese, you’ll understand why the judges were won over. The company’s retail store has plenty of this award-winning cheese on hand, and it’s all for sale at incredibly low prices.
The Baker Country Cheese Store is open Monday-Saturday, and it’s a great excuse to take a drive into an area of Wisconsin that locals call “The Holyland.” See details of the store, including the latest hours, here. If you have a taste for Wisconsin cheese, here’s a cheesy road trip you’ll definitely want to take.
