The Color of Summer
| 
People often joke that Wisconsin only has two seasons: winter and road construction. While many kid about the long winters in the Badger State – and that has certainly been true this year – when we think of summer, we think not of orange construction barrels but of the color green. We think of green grass, of Northwoods foliage, of seasonal vegetables.
At Sendik’s, the color has taken on a new meaning as we’ve expanded our composting program in an effort to be even more “green.” In partnership with our friends at Waste Management, we began a composting pilot program last summer at our Germantown location. It worked so well, we were able to expand it to all of our stores last fall.
May Cheese of the Month: Carr Valley Glacier Penta Creme Blue
| 
Type of Milk: 100% Cow’s Milk
Variety: Blue
Country of Origin: United States (Wisconsin)
Notes: Decadent, firm with a melt-in-your-mouth richness
Situated among the flowing green hills and fertile pastures of central Wisconsin, the Carr Valley Cheese Company has been making cheese for over 100 years. Sid Cook, the current and fourth-generation owner, is one of a small group of certified Master Cheesemakers in the United States. While Carr Valley Cheese remains one of Wisconsin’s traditional cheese plants and is famous for making cheese the old-fashioned way, Sid and his crew no doubt are among the most creative cheesemakers and continue to develop American Originals.
April Cheese of the Month: Reypenaer Gouda 1 Year
| 
Type of Milk: Cow
Variety: Gouda
Country of Origin: Holland
Notes: Exceptional aroma, and intense, creamy flavor that lingers on the palate
Despite the fact you probably haven’t yet heard the name Reypenaer (pronounced ‘ray-pen-are’), it is arguably one of the top Dutch cheeses around. “Reypenaer” means “ripening” in Dutch and Reypenaer is produced by a small cheese dairy according to a traditional method. The Wijngaard family — who produce the cheese and have been master cheese makers for three generations — possess an unbridled commitment to quality and taste, as only the finest milk from cows roaming freely on green pastures is used.
March Cheese of the Month: Saxon Creamery “Pastures” Aged Cheddar
| 
Type of Milk: Raw cow milk
Variety: Aged Cheddar
Country of Origin: USA (Wisconsin)
Notes: Dense, mellow and full of flavor. Creamy with a sweet taste that lingers. Aged for 150 days.
In 1848, ancestors of Saxon Creamery from Saxony, Germany, sailed across the ocean in search of land and opportunity. Their formidable journey brought them to the rich lakeshore soils of Manitowoc County. On these fertile soils began the family legacy of dairy farming. Cattle grazing on lush spring, summer and autumn grasses produced more milk than the family needed. By 1870, they were making cheese to preserve and share their milk. Read the rest of this entry »
