Prairie Breeze is an artisanal cheese crafted by Milton Creamery, located in the heart of the American Midwest. It's a unique take on traditional cheddar, made using milk from local Amish dairy farms in Southeast Iowa.This cheese is known for its distinct flavor profile: slightly sweet, nutty, and full-bodied. Unlike typical cheddar, Prairie Breeze has a more crumbly and crystalline texture, which is a result of its aging process. It is aged for a minimum of 9 months, during which it develops its characteristic flavors and textures.The cheese’s sweetness is a standout feature, often described as reminiscent of pineapple or citrus. It pairs wonderfully with fruits like apples or pears, and is also a great addition to a cheeseboard, complementing stronger, more pungent cheeses.Prairie Breeze is not only a favorite among cheese connoisseurs but has also garnered acclaim in the cheese community, winning multiple awards at national cheese competitions. Its unique flavor and texture make it a versatile cheese for cooking.
