Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese Delivers a Taste of Mexico with Only Oaxaca Cheese Sustainably Produced in Wisconsin

The Mexican style part-skim milk mozzarella cheese comes tied in a knot and is perfect for cooking

Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese delivers a taste of Mexico this Cinco de Mayo with its handmade, farm fresh and authentic Oaxaca cheese. The traditional, semi-hard artisan cheese is made by stretching Mozzarella into long ribbons that are wound into a knot and is the only Oaxaca cheese produced, sustainably, in the state of Wisconsin. Oaxaca cheese originated in Italy but was brought to Mexico by Dominican friars who settled in the state of Oaxaca.

Oaxaca is a Mexican name for semi-soft, white and string-like Hispanic-style cheese that is made from pasteurized cow’s milk. It has a savory, mellow buttery flavor and is a superb melting cheese. This makes it the ideal stuffing for enchiladas, poblano peppers and quesadillas. The cheese can also be shredded and used as a garnish on beans, tacos, tostadas and soups.

Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese sells 8 oz., 10 oz., 12 oz., 16 oz., 3 lb. and 5 lb. portions of Oaxaca cheese, also known as Farmer’s Rope, at retailers throughout the U.S. including Whole Foods and H-E-B. The third-generation farmers have been handmaking Oaxaca cheese since 2000. In addition to Oaxaca/Farmer’s rope, cheese lovers can enjoy their Fresh Mozzarella, Fresh Cheddar Cheese Curds and Mascarpon

Sweet creamy mascarpone and chocolate mascarpone, one of Crave Brothers’ most popular premium cheeses, makes for a luxurious and velvety dessert as well as the perfect pairing with fruit. Purchase mascarpone individually and in gift boxes online and at retailers throughout the U.S. including Whole Foods.
