Prairie Breeze
$9.99**Festival Feature!** The unique flavors of this cheddar exemplify how the creativity and imagination of American cheesemakers can result in unexpected and exceptional cheese. Both sharp and nutty, creamy and crystalline, Prairie Breeze is made by Galen Musser, the son of Milton Creamery’s owner. Less than a year after Milton Creamery opened, Galen took over the cheesemaking process at the young age of 16, and just a few years later, his Prairie Breeze took the Best Cheddar award at the American Cheese Society’s 2009 competition. Made with fresh milk from neighboring Amish farmers who hand milk their cows, we are glad this Davenport Farmers’ Market favorite has moved into the national spotlight. Try pairing Prairie Breeze with a fruit forward Merlot. Learn More -
Frisian Farms Gouda
$9.99**Festival Feature!** Frisian Farms is a small dairy farm located in the prairie heartland of southeastern Iowa. It's owned and operated by two brothers who come from a long line of dairy farmers originating from the Friesland province in Holland. Jason and Mike Bandstra make cheese from the milk of their own herd of Holstein cows. The dairy was founded by Jason 6 years ago with Mike joining later in the operation after working for Horizon Milk in Maryland. The Gouda is complex with a rustic feel of a traditional Dutch Gouda. Fruity in the attack, rounded out with green almonds and finishing with a piquant saltiness reminiscent of its alpine cousins. Learn More
