Two Blue-Ribbon Cheese Special of the Day Sandwiches will be featured at the Real Wisconsin Cheese Grill. This is the first time blue-ribbon winning cheese from the Dairy Products Contest will be sold as grilled cheese sandwiches.
Prairie Farms Dairy DBA Shullsburg Creamery Maple Bacon Cheddar will be featured. It was the best flavored hard cheese at the 2022 Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Products Contest. This will be the Blue-Ribbon Cheese Special of the Day Sandwich on Tuesday, August 8, while supplies last.
Buholzer Brothers Gouda was the best gouda and edam cheese at the 2022 Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Products Contest. This will be the Blue-Ribbon Cheese Special of the Day Sandwich on Thursday, August 10, while supplies last.
The Real Wisconsin Cheese Grill is located in the Wisconsin Products Pavilion. It will be open from 10 am to 10 pm during the fair. Proceeds from the grill are reinvested into dairy education and promotion at the fair. Proceeds also support scholarships for youth pursuing careers in the dairy industry.
“We are very excited to bring award-winning cheese from the Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Products Contest to the Real Wisconsin Cheese Grill,” said Nicole Barlass, president of the Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Promotion Board. “The winning cheese from the contest is on display in the Wisconsin Products Pavilion during the fair, but having a contest-winner served in a grilled cheese sandwich will be the first time fairgoers can consume blue-ribbon cheeses during their visit to the fair. We hope it encourages fairgoers to look for other award-winning Wisconsin cheeses, and dairy products, at their local grocery store.”
