We found Carr Valley cheese at our local Hyvee, but no curds! Maybe someday…

I’ve been thinking about the best cheese curds I’ve ever had for some time now. The problem is that those cheese curds are pretty far away from where I live. However, they are (luckily) on the way to Michigan, our Christmas destination. That destination is in Mauston, Wisconsin, at the Carr Valley Cheese shop on the side of Highway 94.
We’ve driven through Wisconsin many times, and I can tell you that highways in Wisconsin are highly populated with signs that encourage you to stop and buy cheese. But I had never actually stopped at one until Pam suggested we stop in Mauston after our trip to the Dells last summer. And they were fantastic. It was then that I finally found out what makes cheese curds squeaky, and besides that, those cheese curds were made out of really good cheddar. So I’ve been thinking about them ever since, and its like 6 months later!
On our way to Michigan this year, we stopped and bought some and they were fantastic again, just like I remembered. And Andy bought some cheddar that was aged 8 years, which was potent stuff and would make an blue cheese lover ecstatic. So I’ve satisfied my craving for a while now and I just wanted to let you know that if you’re driving through Wisconsin, you should definitely stop here.
