Brick Cheese is actually a specific variety of cheese developed in Wisconsin in 1877 during that states cheese golden age. Brick cheese is a semi-soft with a slightly buttery flavor and creamy texture. The name may be derived both from its shape and because the original process involved pressing with a brick to eliminate moisture.
This brick cheese comes not from Wisconsin, but from a region with a strong cheese-making history in its own right, the Amish dairy farms of Northeast Ohio. This is an area known for natural, wholesome milk production and longstanding cheese expertise.
