Pleasant Ridge Reserve -- Uplands Cheese
Making only a single cheese -- the much-awarded Pleasant Ridge Reserve - Uplands Cheese is a Wisconsin farmstead dairy operation using only the freshest milk from its own grazing herd during the Spring, Early Summer and Early Fall months. Uplands dairy cows freely graze on lush pasture grasses, herbs and wildflowers in the rolling hills of Southwest Wisconsin, producing uniquely-flavored pasture-produced milk of flavor. Pleasant Ridge Reserve enjoys a rare honor -- winning Best of Show twice in 2001 and 2005 from the American Cheese Society, and being named the U.S. Champion at the 2003 U.S. Championship Cheese Contest. In fact, it is the only cheese ever to win both awards. Pleasant Ridge Reserve has been recognized as one of the top 10 American-made farmstead artisan cheeses by numerous culinary publications. Pleasant Ridge Reserve is usually eaten as a table cheese, excellent as an appetizer or a dessert cheese. It is also an excellent cooking cheese - similar to French Gruyeres, it is superb in soups, fondues, gratins and omelettes. It is a favorite of chefs, restaurants and consumers across the United States.
