If you love cheeses like brie, chances are you will fall in love with its cousin Brillat-Savarin. This is a triple-cream cheese with around 75% butterfat that has a light texture with rich flavor. Like brie, it is delightful on a baguette, but it really shines with a glass of prosecco or champagne.

You have probably had Havarti cheese on a sandwich, but we encourage you to take this popular variety to new flavorful heights this year. The mild cheese has a slight tang and is great for melting. It will upgrade your grilled cheese and is perfect for making creamy, cheese sauces.

Wisconsin is known as the heart of the American cheese industry, and they are producing a wide variety of cheeses. If you’ve ever had Detroit-style pizza, you’ve probably had Wisconsin Brick Cheese which is typically used. It’s smooth, semi-soft and pairs well with just about anything due to its mild, nutty flavor. Like any cheese, it develops a stronger flavor as it ages.
