Brick Cheese Widmer
$8.00
“What is real Brick cheese anyway?” Brick is an American original. It was “invented” in 1877 by John Jossi, a Swiss-born American cheese maker. As Mr. Jossi created it, Brick cheese is firmly in the tradition of the great washed rind cheeses of Europe. Its flavor is enhanced during ripping of the bacterium linens, the same pleasantly pungent bacterial action that contributes to the flavor of the classic French cheeses like Pont I’Eveque, St. Nectaire, Reblochon and Livarot. Real Brick has a heady aroma and modestly full flavor that will almost assuredly keep Brick from ever being the most popular cheese in town.
Mr. Joseph Widmer, the third generation of his family to produce Brick Cheese. Joe’s grandfather John O. Widmer came-like Jossi– from Switzerland and started the company back in 1922. Joe’s father was one of the sons who took over from John. They in turn passed the plant’s operation on to Joe.
