Draft:Friesago

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friesago is a artisan cheese made with pasteurized sheep milk. It is semi-aged with a dense, grainy texture, natural rind, nutty finish, and mild, milky, grassy flavor.[1][2] Originally the cheese was waxed, but it isn’t anymore. The milk comes from Friesian cross-bred sheep that feed on grasses that grow in Minnesota’s Northern climate. Friesago is inspired by Asiago and Manchego cheeses.[3] It is made by Shepherd's Way farms, which is located in Southern Minnesota.[4] Friesago was the first cheese made by Shepherd's Way, it was invented in 1998. It is sold in grocery stores located in Minnesota such as Kowalski's, and Lunds and Byerlys. It is also sold in the Mill City farmers market and St. Paul farmers market. It is called a "must try" by Food and Wine magazine. It can be used in cooking or plain as a snack.[5]
