🧀 One of Sheboygan County’s Best-Kept Cheese Secrets Might Be Right Under Your Nose🧀
If you’ve driven through the Sheboygan Falls/Gibbsville area, there’s a good chance you’ve passed one of Wisconsin’s true local gems without realizing just how much is inside.
Gibbsville Cheese Co Inc is more than just another place to grab a block of cheese. It’s a family-run Wisconsin cheese company with generations of cheesemaking history, a working factory, and a retail store packed with the kind of products that remind you why Wisconsin takes cheese so seriously.
Located at W2663 County Road OO in Sheboygan Falls, the store sits just a little off the beaten path ...which means plenty of people in the area may still have never stopped in! Yikes!!! That is a tragic cheese situation!
Gibbsville Cheese has built its reputation on classic Wisconsin favorites including Cheddar, Colby, Monterey Jack, Two-Tone cheese, string cheese, cheese spreads, cheese curds, Italian cheeses, gift boxes and plenty more. Their factory store carries a broad selection, and much of the cheese is produced right there using local ingredients!
One of the biggest reasons to stop in? Fresh cheese curds. Gibbsville’s advertises fresh curds at the store every other Wednesday after 2 PM !! So if you’re someone who believes a cheese curd should still squeak, you may want to put that on the calendar.
There’s also something special about buying cheese from a place that actually has deep roots in the community. Gibbsville Cheese traces its history back to 1933, and the Van Tatenhove family has operated the business for more than 65 years! The factory and store were even rebuilt after a fire destroyed them in 1945.
That history is part of what makes a stop here different from grabbing cheese off a grocery-store shelf. This is the kind of place where locals come back again and again, travelers make a point of stopping, and you can walk out with everything from everyday snacking cheese to something for a party, gift basket or Wisconsin-themed gift.
And people clearly like what they find. The store currently carries a 4.8-star rating from nearly 500 reviews, which is pretty impressive for a little local cheese shop tucked into rural Sheboygan County.
