I don't normally seek out danger, but I'll make an exception in this case. I will dare to ask the question of who makes the best cheese in Wisconsin and while many get mentioned, it seems like there are two that are most often crowned as the best in Wisconsin.
The fact that Missouri really does have 1.4 billion pounds of cheese hidden in caves is remarkable, but the urban legends that have ground out of this cheddar reality are even better. Let's try to separate Missouri cheese fact from dairy fiction.
Cheese elitists are on the warpath against what is easily the most popular cheese brand in Missouri. They are on a campaign to convince the Show Me State to avoid it at all costs. If you could see me now, you would see me rolling my eyes.
I've heard of product recalls due to potential contamination or a link to bacteria or disease, but I've never heard of one like this before. Cheese slices in Missouri and Illinois have been recalled and I'm betting you'll never guess why in a million years.
Could I interest you in some cheese? Lots and lots of cheese...buried underground in Missouri. It's a spacious 400,000 square foot cheese cave and I can prove its existence below Springfield, Missouri.
