Description
Colby Whole Loaf 5 lb Heritage: Cheesemakers first produced Colby, a close relative of Cheddar, in the central Wisconsin town of Colby in 1885. Similar in flavor to Cheddar, Colby is softer and has a more open texture and higher moisture content. Cheesemakers spray the curds with cold water and stir them while they are still in the vat to prevent the curds from knitting together. This procedure gives Colby a more elastic texture than Cheddar. Description: First produced in Colby, Wisconsin in 1885. Mild flavor similar to mild Cheddar. Firm, open texture with tiny holes. Slice for sandwiches; shred into casseroles; cube for snacks.

Great Colby cheese. We did a small taste test at the bar. Everyone liked this.

Widmer’s cheeses are THE best. I have bought them for family, friends, and gifts, along with buying for myself! Their Colby cheese is absolutely the best and my favorite. We leave very it so much that I get a five pound block when ordering for ourselves. It is simply the best Colby you will find anywhere!

I use to rent a car every year when we flew in to Oshgosh for their annual air show. A special treat was to drive to the dairy and purchase some of the best cheese we ever ate. Most of it was gone before we got back to Michigan
but it was enjoyed to say the least. I had almost forgot about the Cheese factory till I ran across an old label I had saved from a brick of the Colby. It taste just as I remembered it and well worth every penny.

The Colby cheese is very good and has a lot of body to it. I love the taste and the texture. My son and I love to eat it and order it and have it delivered to us. The 5 pound block is hard to find at other cheese farms. It is so good that we eat that block in about 2 and 1/2 weeks. Also due to ups delivery charges , it is cheaper to ship per ounce compared to smaller sizes. we will be a steady customer of Widmers.
