Caraway Brick Cheese
Bring a taste of classic, old-world comfort to your family table with Renard's Artisan Caraway Brick Cheese. This flavorful twist on a Wisconsin favorite is a tribute to time-honored traditions, crafted to add a warm, aromatic spice to the meals that bring you together. It’s a cheese designed for hearty sandwiches and cherished moments shared with loved ones.
Our classic Mild Brick cheese provides the perfect creamy foundation for this distinctive creation. We blend whole caraway seeds into the cheese, allowing their warm, earthy, and slightly peppery notes to infuse every bite. The result is a beautifully balanced, semi-soft cheese that reflects our family's passion for creating unique, high-quality flavors meant for sharing.
Creamy and Aromatic: A supple, smooth texture gives way to a delightful, buttery flavor that is perfectly complemented by the warm, licorice-like notes of caraway. It’s a nostalgic and comforting taste experience that feels both familiar and special.
A Hearty Favorite: A natural partner for rye bread, this cheese makes an exceptional sandwich, especially with corned beef or pastrami. Its excellent melting qualities are perfect for a gourmet grilled cheese or a unique twist on potato gratin. For a simple and satisfying snack, pair it with dark crackers, sharp mustard, and a cold pint of bock or your favorite hearty beer.
At Renard's Artisan Cheese, we believe that the best traditions are the ones passed down and enjoyed together. Our Caraway Brick Cheese is crafted in that spirit, offering a piece of our heritage to make your family meals even more memorable.
Bring home the warm, aromatic taste of Renard's Caraway Brick Cheese. Treat your loved ones to this flavorful classic and savor the simple pleasure of a meal made with care.
