Cave Aged Bandaged Cheddar, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

This is one of the three highest ranked American Cheeses in 2013, winning the impressive Best In Show 3rd place. It was especially sweet a reward for cheesemaker Willi Lehner who is located just outside of Madison, WI where his Bleu Mont Dairy made this gem of a cheese!. It was especially rewarding to be at the awards ceremony and instead of an acceptance speech, Willi yodeled!

This cheddar is exceptional. I'm so glad I have been commissioned by the ACS to paint the winners, because I hadn't had the pleasure of trying this until now! It's absolutely perfect.
