June's Featured Maker
Widmer's Cheese Cellars
5.0 Stars out of 208 reviews
June's box features four different artisan cheeses from Widmer's Cheese Cellars in Theresa, Wisconsin: their heritage Colby inspired by the 1885 Wisconsin original, their traditional surface-ripened Brick cheese whose recipe has Swiss origins, their Matterhorn Alpine Cheddar that fuses the best of alpine and cheddar cultures into one flavorful bite, and their 10 Year Aged Cheddar complete with an incredibly rich and sharp flavor. Widmer's Cheese Cellars has been home to three generations of Widmer cheesemakers. Joe Widmer makes cheese in the factory his grandfather purchased 98 years ago, and he continues to follow his grandfather’s golden rule: Take no shortcuts and accept nothing less than excellence. Joe has gone through the Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker® program twice and holds certifications for two Wisconsin originals—Brick and Colby cheeses.
The live Zoom date and time is TBD. A Zoom link invitation will be emailed post-purchase and a recording will be emailed to everyone post-event.
Place your order by Sunday, May 31st. The June box will ship Tuesday, June 2nd.

FAQ
How does the quarterly subscription work?
Subscribe to receive a new selection of cheeses from one maker, four times a year. You'll be able to cancel, pause, skip, or modify within 48 hours of the shipment of your upcoming order. For prepaid subscriptions, you are able to cancel after the prepaid duration.
Once you are signed up, you'll receive an email giving you access to your unique subscription portal, so you can review all your shipping and billing information and your next order date.
What is fantastic about our quarterly cheese subscription is you get the unique opportunity to Meet the Maker live on Zoom. A recording will be emailed for those who cannot attend.
What is the quarterly shipping schedule?
Since our quarterly program highlights one maker per shipment, and is accompanied by a live Zoom event, we have a fixed schedule for all shipments. Upon request (given 48 hours notice), we can delay a box's delivery, or we can skip a shipment that doesn't work with your schedule (which means your fourth shipment will be the following quarter).
The current shipping schedule is:
1. June 2nd, 2026
2. November 17th, 2026
3. December 15th, 2026
4. March 9th, 2027
Live Zoom dates are finalized closer to the shipping date, at the discretion of the cheesemaker. Cheesemakers are busy so we work around them! :-)
How does the gift subscription work?
Our Gift "Meet the Makers" Quarterly Subscription is the perfect way to gift a year of cheese. No pricing is ever included, and the gift subscription expires after the prepaid duration. By providing the recipient's name and email in the product form, we'll be able to invite them to upcoming live Zoom events, and notify them of upcoming orders. Gift subscriptions ship on the fixed schedule of the quarterly program, unless otherwise requested. This fixed schedule can be found on the respective product pages. Post-purchase you will also receive an email with a digital gift card and an outline of that shipping schedule. Please let the gift recipient know when they will receive their first box as it is necessary for someone to be there to receive it.
Our first point of contact with the recipient is their first box delivery. They will receive upcoming order emails from us on the second order onward, so they can better manage their subscription without your assistance.
How is the cheese packaged for freshness?
We take great care in ensuring your cheese arrives fresh and flavorful. Each cheese box is expertly packed with temperature-controlling insulation and ice packs to maintain the perfect conditions during shipping. Additionally, we use sustainable and breathable cheese paper to help your cheeses age naturally while preserving their taste and texture. Cheese is shipped to arrive within 1 to 3 days to preserve quality and integrity.
