Cheese Brothers

Cheese Brothers is a proudly Wisconsin-born company that has transformed the state’s legendary cheesemaking heritage into a modern, nationally recognized brand. Founded in 2015 by brothers Jeff and Matt Widmer in Barron, Wisconsin, Cheese Brothers was created with a simple mission: share authentic Wisconsin cheese with the rest of the country while making the experience approachable, fun, and memorable. What began as a direct-to-consumer cheese shipping company has grown into a beloved specialty food producer known for combining traditional craftsmanship with playful presentation.

The story of Cheese Brothers is deeply connected to Wisconsin’s dairy legacy. The Widmer family has roots in the state's cheesemaking community, and the founders built the company around partnerships with skilled cheesemakers who have spent generations perfecting their craft. Every cheese is produced in northern Wisconsin using high-quality local milk sourced from family dairy farms, allowing Cheese Brothers to showcase the region’s rich agricultural traditions while supporting local producers.

Quality is at the heart of everything Cheese Brothers does. Their cheeses are made with natural ingredients, traditional cheesemaking techniques, and no unnecessary shortcuts, resulting in products that highlight the pure flavors of Wisconsin milk. From fresh cheese curds and creamy cheddar to aged specialties and smoked varieties, the lineup celebrates both classic styles and regional favorites. Many of their products are handcrafted in small batches, emphasizing flavor, texture, and authenticity.

What truly distinguishes Cheese Brothers is their ability to make artisan cheese feel accessible and fun. Their colorful packaging, vibrant branding, and lighthearted personality have helped introduce a new generation of consumers to Wisconsin cheese culture. Rather than treating cheese as an intimidating gourmet product, Cheese Brothers presents it as something meant to be shared around a table, enjoyed at gatherings, gifted to friends, or simply savored as an everyday indulgence.

The company has also become known for its innovative approach to shipping perishable products. By carefully packaging and delivering cheese directly to consumers and businesses across the United States, Cheese Brothers has helped bridge the gap between Wisconsin’s small-town creameries and customers nationwide. Their commitment to customer service and product quality has earned them a loyal following and recognition as a highly rated online retailer.

Beyond the cheese itself, Cheese Brothers serves as an ambassador for Wisconsin’s dairy culture. The company celebrates the farmers, cheesemakers, and communities that make the state the premier cheesemaking region in America. Every product reflects not only exceptional ingredients but also the craftsmanship, pride, and traditions that have made Wisconsin synonymous with great cheese for generations.

Today, Cheese Brothers continues to grow while staying true to its founding principles: exceptional Wisconsin cheese, honest ingredients, strong relationships with local producers, and a healthy dose of personality. The result is a brand that delivers more than just cheese. It delivers a taste of Wisconsin’s rich dairy heritage, packaged with warmth, authenticity, and a little bit of fun.
