brick cheese
The name of this all-American Wisconsin
CHEESE is said to have come from the fact that bricks were once used to weight the
CURD and press out the
WHEY; it's also brick shaped. Pale yellow and semisoft, brick
CHEESE has a mild, earthy flavor when young. As it ripens, however, it becomes almost as strong as
LIMBURGER. See also
CHEESE.
