A Closer Look at Brunkow Cheese & Fayette Creamery
Founded in 1899, Brunkow Cheese is tucked away in the hills of southwestern Wisconsin. Sourcing cow’s milk from surrounding dairy farms, they make their cheeses by hand and in small batches, aging them on-site. Cheesemaker Joe Burns makes their specialty cheeses under the “Fayette Creamery” label, including the favorite Little Darling Tomme. Brunkow Cheese is a regular at the major music festival Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL. This year they’re serving up their Brun-Uusto cheeses with myriad sauces: syrup, chipotle, jelly, and marinara sauce!

This French-style Tomme has earthy, fruity, and nutty flavors. Its texture is firm and crumbly and goes well with breads and crackers as well as great for baking or melting. Close to the rind it has a “cavey” taste.
