Caves of Faribault®, a division of Prairie Farms Dairy Inc., is proud to add two new artisanal varieties to its ever-growing line of specialty cheeses. The first, St. Helga’s European Style Swiss, is crafted in a European style to achieve a complex, full-bodied flavor with pronounced nutty tones that differentiate it from traditional Swiss. Made in Wisconsin, it then matures in the sandstone caves in Faribault, resulting in a fine mix of Norwegian heritage, Wisconsin pride, and Minnesotan affinage.
