Cheese of the Moment:
Blue Paradise
Selection by milk: Cow, Vegetarian Rennet
Milk Treatment: Pasteurized
Located in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, Hook's Cheese produces several varieties of cheese, ranging from classic Wisconsin cheddars to several types of blue cheese.
Owners Tony and Julie Hook started Hook's Cheese Company in 1976 and initially made cheddar and swiss. Since 1980, they have continued to expand their range and have won numerous awards for their cheeses.
Milk for production comes from several small, local dairy farms near Mineral Point. The cows are all raised sustainably and without rBGH.
Aged for three to six months, Blue Paradise is a soft and mild, double cream blue. Very rich and smooth with a long, balanced finish with flavors of lemon, blueberry and black pepper.
You have to be a romantic to invest yourself, your money and your time in cheese.
