Genuine Wisconsin Cheese Curds Imported For Rose Bowl

Wisconsin Cheese Curds In California
Seems as though my old stomping grounds in Orange County (California) is rife with good taste. I found these Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery cheese curds from Wisconsin in a Sprouts chain (sort of a Whole Foods, but nowhere near the price gouger) of gorcery and health food stores. They also had Henning’s chipotle cheddar there (Henning’s … Read more
