Celebrating Women in Cheese!
Cheesemaking was traditionally a task supervised by the women of the farm. Most mornings started with milking the animals and then bringing the milk into the kitchen to be preserved by transforming it into cheese. It was only after the advent of the industrial revolution that cheesemaking moved out of the kitchen and into the factory, thus becoming a profession dominated by men. In honor of Women’s History Month this March, we are celebrating the women in cheese who produce some of the great cheeses that we carry in the Cream Top Shop.

But if you want to serve Swiss Raclette for a crowd, it can be challenging to have enough melty cheese for all. Here’s our method for feeding a crowd with the equipment you probably already have!

Grilled Manistique Cheese Recipe
In the world of cheese like many other places right now, everything old is new again. We’ve taken that concept to heart with our Manistique cheese! Here in the U.S., we tend to have a very specific picture of cheese in our minds – rows of plastic or paper wrapped slices of cheese that are all lined up in a refrigerated case at the supermarket. However, before the introduction of these “new” materials, cheese had to get from the farm to the market and be protected from the elements. Enter the humble cabbage leaf.
