Caves of Faribault Wins Launches Two New Specialty Cheese Items: Introducing St. Helga’s European Style Swiss and Cherubic™ Heavenly Young Gouda

EDWARDSVILLE, Illinois – 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.

The second cheese being introduced is the pioneer product of an entirely new collection from the creators at Faribault, dubbed the Commission™ collection. In line with the concept of commissioning fine art, the Commission™ collection allows the company’s select cheese-making partners to craft cheese to their exact standards of excellence. The firstborn of this collection is Cherubic™ Heavenly Young Gouda. Made in Wisconsin with a brief affinage period in the caves, this Gouda’s flavor profile is bred for versatility and exhibits a pungent, buttery flavor.

Both kinds of cheese made their formal debut at this year’s Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco in January and were met with excitement by show attendees. St. Helga’s European Style Swiss and Cherubic™ Heavenly Young Gouda are available in 5 lb. random weight wheels and wedges.
