Come to Tillamook, Oregon and see what you think!
Been there, done that, also have been to Monroe, Wisconsin.
They have “Cheese Days” in Monroe. First and second generation Swiss cheesemakers live there, and create cheeses with all the Old World skill and craftsmanship they brought with them.
Sorry. Tillamook is over-rated... it can’t stand up to an aged Vermont Cheddar. Grafton Classic Reserve or 5 y/o Cabot.
Tillamook is for metrosexualls. Don ‘t take that personally....but the cheese just isn’t that great.
