Pleasant Ridge Reserve

Cheesemaker Andy Hatch only makes Pleasant Ridge Reserve from milk produced when his cows have been out on pasture, giving the milk and cheese a rich, golden color and grassy flavor that tastes of summer. Andy only makes cheese on days when the pasture conditions are ideal to ensure the quality of the cheese. The farm incorporates rotational grazing by creating 20 separate pastures on their 244-acre farm in southern Wisconsin. The recipe for Pleasant Ridge Reserve is similar to the French Alpine classic Beaufort and yields cheese with deep savory flavor. We can taste sweet, salted caramel, grass, and a mile-long fruity finish. Pleasant Ridge is the most-awarded cheese in American history, having won Best of Show in the American Cheese Society’s annual competition three times (2001, 2005 and 2010)

We require 24 hours to process shipping orders. Each order is carefully cut, wrapped, packed, and shipped directly from our shops.

Orders ship Monday–Wednesday to help ensure perishable products arrive fresh and do not sit in transit over the weekend. Orders placed Wednesday–Sunday will ship the following Monday. Holidays and peak periods may affect processing and delivery times.

All shipments are sent via UPS Signature Release. Because our products are perishable, orders are packed to arrive within 1–2 days and are shipped in insulated boxes with ice packs. Melted ice packs are normal and do not indicate spoiled cheese—simply refrigerate your order upon arrival. Please be sure you are home to collect the package from the doorstep. It cannot sit outside all day in the heat.

• We do not ship fresh cheese, cooked meats such as pâté, spreads, or platters.
• We cannot ship to PO boxes, APO/FPO addresses, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, or internationally.
