Kraemer Wisconsin Cheese

My Unilocal buddy — Gem S. had mentioned to me when I’m in Wisconsin, I should really try the cheese curds. (MAHALO Gemmy! You’re da bestest!)
Cheese Curds? What is that???
This Hawaii boy did not grow up eating that kinda stuff… and I had no idea what cheese curds were until this past Friday, when I made my way to Kraemer Wisconsin Cheese & Sausage factory to buy me some deep fried curds.
What a cool place! Kraemer’s — was a Gold Medal Winner, and won the 2010 World Champion of Cheese! The sell all types of cheeses, premium cheese spreads, homemade fudge, sausages. They also sell Jelly Belly & Salt Water Taffy too.
They ship all over the USA, so if you want to try, they have a toll free number — 1(800) 236‑8033.
Upon walking into the store, I noticed a sign on the door where it said that «deep fry cheese curds were only available from 11 AM to 2 PM». Well, let me tell you… I went to the store after 4:30 PM… and upon seeing that sign, I’d figure I’d sweet talk my way to the lady at the counter. I told here I was from Hawaii, and that I flew & drove all the way here to try their deep fried cheese curds, and there was no other place I really wanted to try this other than Kraemer’s!
Guess what? The next thing you know, oil was put in the fryer, and BAM!!! I got my deep fried cheese curds! Yay!!! HIGH FIVE me Baby!!!
I got my deep fried cheese curds to share with my co-​workers, and may I say… the deep fried cheese curds came out piping hot & delicious! It goes perfectly with beer too!
Kraemer’s also sells souvenirs like t-​shirts & magnets, so I picked up a few t-​shirts for my co-​workers.
I was told if you’re looking for fresh squeaky cheese, you have to come on Thursdays, as that’s they day they make new cheese at the factory, and you can also come and watch too. What a cool place!
Top notch friendly service! The lady at the counter was so helpful & nice. I will come back here again in the near future, if I’m jonesing for Cheese Curds.

From Christmas care packages, to cheese spreads, to fresh local sausages along with dairy products including Sassy Cow Creamery milk this is the place for you. Being raised in the area I’ve been spoiled to have such a wonderful dairy so close to home. Family members from out of state make a point to stop whenever visiting to stock up on Wisconsin goodness.
The recently remodeled their store and expanded their local microbrew and wine selection. A family run business that has stood the test of time. If traveling through the area I would suggest to stock on some great cheese and any else that might suit your fancy.

Love the different cheese spreads. To make pink sauce for Italian dishes I use their Asiago and Cheddar Spread. Yum. Or the Jalapeño Cheddar spread for chili? Yum. Small place but great selection of cheeses. Good Price too!

My sister and I were over in Oconomowoc last week, and had some cheese curds (fresh, not deep fried) at Sweet Mullets. We asked where they bought them from, and were directed to Kraemer’s with the tip that they’re made fresh on Thursdays. Luckily for us, that was the next day!
So, we made the short drive to Watertown and paid a visit to Kraemer’s — this place is so incredible, I can’t believe I am the first to review it! They’ve got a great selection of cheeses and meats, along with lots of mustards, crackers, etc. We picked up a cheese slicer, a cheese grater, a t-​shirt, a Wisconsin shot glass, and — of course — plenty of cheese.
The curds were incredible. You couldn’t bite down without getting that squeak that only comes from the freshest curds. If I lived in Wisconsin, I’d be over here all the time. Lucky for me, they also ship nationwide!
