MILWAUKEE (WDJT) — Women have played a role in Wisconsin cheesemaking since 1841, when Anne Pickett opened the state’s first cheese factory near Lake Mills, according to Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin.
Today, women across the state own creameries, make cheese and run dairy farms. Four women have earned the title of Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker, a title that takes more than 10 years to earn.
Taylor Reismer of Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin joined us on Wednesday, March 4 to highlight women in the industry and share recipes featuring cheeses made by women cheesemakers, including Nasonville Dairy Monterey Jack, Sartori SarVecchio Parmesan and Roth Creamy Havarti.
