A Store for Cheese

Date:5/12/2008

As Americans value convenience more and more, grocers are catering to that need. Coupled with the demand for high end and specialty cheese, supermarkets must concentrate on catering to their customers' priorities of both speed and quality. We spoke to Tim Metcalfe, Metcalfe's Sentry, who has met this need with a very special cheese section in his store.



Hooked on Blue

Consumer enthusiasm for Blue cheese has spiked over the last ten years. Wisconsin cheesemakers have had to double production of blue cheese in the past few years to keep up with demand. We visit with Tony Hook, Hook's Cheese, and Mike Brennenstuhl, Seymour Dairy to learn about their very distinct, Blue cheeses.

Dairy Connection

Date:3/31/2008

Artisan cheese by its very nature is created in smaller batches, an asset many consumers are seeking. But for these cheesemakers, smaller quantities can bring big business challenges. We visited with David Potter at Dairy Connections, a Madison-based company that helps these cheesemakers scale things down.
