The Big Moo Cheese Debuts at 2022 Summer Fancy Food Show June 12 - 14

Specialty Food Association

Skillet or Grill It - Baked Cheese Perfection from Wisconsin

WHAT:   

THE BIG MOO, Wisconsin-based specialty cheese brand from Cheeses of Wisconsin, brings a local favorite to the 2022 Summer Fancy Food Show, June 12 – 14.

Moo-ve over cheddar! It’s time to make room for another Wisconsin tradition: baked cheese. Bake it, grill it, or toss it in a pan, THE BIG MOO baked cheese cooks crispy on the outside, warm and melty on the inside. An old Scandinavian tradition that arrived to the Midwest generations ago, baked cheese has also been called bread cheese, juusto, and ostbröd, but THE BIG MOO calls it delicious.

THE BIG MOO is:

  • Small-batch premium cheese from pastured cows on local Wisconsin dairy farms, humanely raised and BST-hormone free.
  • Made with local Wisconsin milk, cheese enzymes and salt with herbs, spices, and natural ingredients.
  • Made in five flavors – Original, Cheesy Pizza, Roasted Garlic, Bakin’ Bacon, Hoppin’ Jalapeno.
  • Keto-friendly and gluten-free, 0 grams carbs per serving and 6 grams protein per serving.
  • Founded by Mike Harris and Josh Ptaszynski, two fathers who met coaching their sons’ soccer team and bonded over the love of baked cheese, who have worked closely with fourth generation cheesemakers to share THE BIG MOO with the entire country.

Sampling of THE BIG MOO Cheese:

  • THE BIG MOO will be grilling up three flavors: Oh-So Original, Roasted Garlic and Bakin’ Bacon.
WHEN: 

Come meet co-founder Josh Ptaszynski
Sunday, June 12 – Monday, June 13, 10 am – 4 pm. Tuesday, June 14, 10 am – 3 pm.
WHERE:   Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin Booth #651 at the Javits Center, New York City
