Roth Grand Cru® Reserve or Roth Grand Cru® Surchoix could also be substituted for Roth Grand Cru® cheese.

Cheesemonger Tip

Wisconsin cheesemakers produce award-winning, handcrafted alpine-style cheeses using traditional production techniques and copper vats. The cheeses are aged and have a nutty, rich, full-bodied flavor.
