When the Big Game rolls around each February, Wisconsin Cheese knows that eyes are on both the TV and what's on the table.
If you do the cheese math, Wisconsin crafts 600 types, styles, and varieties of cheese (see here for help narrowing down), which means there are 600 options for cheese A, 599 options for cheese B, and 598 options for cheese C. The total combinations equal 214 million cheeseboard options, and with 126 million households in the U.S., no two game day spreads need to be the same.
“With friends gathered around the TV and taste buds craving something extraordinary, Wisconsin Cheese is here to elevate the game day experience with artisan cheeses for a vast array of cheeseboard combinations,” says Suzanne Fanning, CMO of Wisconsin Cheese. “Wisconsin crafts 50% of the nation’s specialty cheese, which means The State of Cheese has the award-winning cheeses to make every spread score points with fans of any team.”

About Wisconsin Cheese: The tradition of cheesemaking excellence began more than 180 years ago before Wisconsin was recognized as a state. With 90% of the State's cow's milk being turned into cheese, Wisconsin's 1,200 cheesemakers, many of whom are third- and fourth-generation, continue to pass on old-world traditions while adopting modern innovations in cheesemaking craftsmanship. Wisconsin has won more awards for its cheese than any other state or country. For more information, visit WisconsinCheese.com or connect on Facebook.
