Summer Entertaining Made Easy: Wisconsin Cheese & More from SCHULTZS CHEESE HAUS

Wisconsin's Cheese Legacy at Your Fingertips

Since 1962, SCHULTZ'S CHEESE HAUS has been sharing "A Bit of Wisconsin" with cheese lovers nationwide. Located on Highway 151 in Beaver Dam, this family-owned shop offers over 125 varieties of cheese alongside other Wisconsin-made delicacies.

"Our selection represents the best of Wisconsin's dairy tradition," says the team at SCHULTZ'S. With everything from fresh squeaky cheese curds to aged cheddars, their extensive inventory provides the perfect starting point for any summer gathering.

Creating the Perfect Summer Cheese Board

When planning your next outdoor party, consider these Wisconsin cheese combinations that work beautifully for warm-weather entertaining:

Fresh and Light: Start with string cheese and fresh curds for easy snacking, paired with monterey jack for its mild, creamy texture that complements summer fruits.

Bold and Savory: Incorporate aged cheddar and Swiss varieties that stand up to grilled meats and vegetables. These more robust cheeses work wonderfully alongside summer sausage and salami.

Spicy Kick: Wisconsin's jalapeño cheese spreads add excitement to any board and pair surprisingly well with summer beers.

Local Pairings That Shine

What makes a Wisconsin-inspired gathering special is the thoughtful pairing of complementary flavors:

Wisconsin Beverages: Local craft beers and wines create perfect harmony with cheese selections. Consider lighter styles for daytime events and fuller-bodied options for evening gatherings.

Sweet Accompaniments: Wisconsin honey and maple syrup drizzled over certain cheeses create unexpected flavor combinations that highlight both products.

Pickle Platters: Traditional and specialty pickles provide a tangy contrast to rich, creamy cheeses. Many varieties of pickles to choose from.

Outdoor Serving Tips

Summer heat presents challenges for cheese service, but these simple solutions help maintain quality:
