Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Aged Cheddar, Blue or Gouda can be used in this recipe.

Outline tree shape with asparagus spears. Starting at the base of the tree, arrange gouda and blue cheese. Place breadstick horizontally in tree; arrange grapes for ornaments.
Place cheddar above breadstick; top with prosciutto layer. Fill in with gouda.
Cut orange slices into wedges. Arrange wedges for tree skirt and at top of tree.

Cheesemonger Tip

Young gouda is buttery and creamy with a nutty finish. Aged gouda has more caramel flavor notes with butterscotch sweetness.

In Wisconsin, we make more flavors, varieties, and styles of cheese than anywhere else in the world. We believe in tradition, producing everything from Italian classics, like parmesan and ricotta, to swiss cheese and cheddar varieties. But every Wisconsin cheesemaker is an innovator as well, which is why we have so many Wisconsin originals, like colby and muenster. Whether it’s a grilled cheese sandwich, potatoes au gratin, or a charcuterie board, Wisconsin cheese makes every dish and recipe tastier.
