Widmers Aged Brick Spread 8 oz
Made from a blend of Aged Brick and Cheddar, this delectable spread from Wisconsin
will keep you coming back for more. It is best served with pumpernickel bread, and can
be accompanied by mustard and onions. A pale ale is the perfect beverage to enjoy with it,
although apple cider or dark beers are also delicious.
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.
Ingredients
Sharp cheddar cheese and Brick cheese aged 9 months (made from pasturized
cultured milk, salt and enzymes) water, reduced lactose whey, whey
cream, lactic acid, sorbic acid (a preservative) salt and guar gum.
