Colby Cheese A Step Closer To Becoming State Cheese

Saturday, February 12th, 2022 -- 7:44 AM

Colby cheese is one step closer to becoming Wisconsin's state cheese. 

A bill naming Colby as the state's official cheese was approved in a Senate committee on Friday. The bill's authors, Representative Kathy Bernier and Senator Donna Rozar both say that Wisconsin should be honoring an original cheese invention, with a unique history for the state.

The Colby cheese process was invented in Colby in 1885, and it is now one of the most popular cheese varieties in the country.
