Foil Pack Whole Aged Brick 5 lb
Heritage:
Brick is a Wisconsin original, first made by John Jossi around 1877.
Some Brick cheeses resemble Germany’s surface-ripened Beer Cheese or
Beer Käse. Brick was named for its shape and because cheesemakers originally
used bricks to press the moisture from the cheese. Wisconsin leads the nation
in the production of Brick and surface-ripened Brick. The bacteria that
cheesemakers apply to surface-ripened cheeses, known as a smear, develops the full,
earthy flavor.
Description:
A Wisconsin original. Flavor changes from mild and sweet, with a touch of nuttiness
when young to pungent and tangy when aged. Available surface-ripened.
Smooth, open texture. Slice for sandwiches; shred for casseroles
