This is a pasteurized cow's milk cheddar from Hook's Cheese Company in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, where Tony and Julie Hook have made cheese in the historic Shake Rag district since 1976. Their milk comes from the same small farms they started with, all within four miles of the plant. The cheddar is aged in sealed blocks with no rind, which holds in the moisture and lets it go a full decade. The ten-year began when the Hooks let a batch of five-year run longer just to see what would happen, and it went on to win first place at the American Cheese Society. The paste is dense and firm, crumbling under the knife and studded with crunchy calcium lactate crystals. It opens tangy and sharp, settles into a buttery, nutty middle, and finishes smooth with a gentle fruitiness.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
Hand-cut to order the day it ships.
