Deer Creek The Stag

Select vats of another Deer Creek cheese, The Fawn, a  traditional 22 lb. daisy wheel Cheddar completely handcrafted from wholesome rBST-free milk from Wisconsin,are chosen for further aging to allow for the development of the intense, bold flavor characteristics of The Stag.

A unique culture set gives this cheese an award-winning rugged, strong flavor of toffee and butterscotch with a sweet finish. As it ages, this bandaged wrapped cheddar develops a hint of crystalline crunch. The Stag is an American Cheese Society five time 1st place winner of was chosen as one of the “101 Best Cheeses of the Year” by Culture Magazine.

Over the last 40 years Chris Gentine, a Wisconsin Licensed Cheese Grader who started his dairy career at the age of 14, built Deer Creek Cheese with traditional, sustainable cheesemaking methods to showcase the best The Dairy State of Wisconsin has to offer.

He developed Deer Creek's cheeses along side Master Cheesemakers Kerry Henning and Sid Cook using nutrient rich milk from Wisconsin's kettle morain landscape providing lush summer grazing, sweet winter feed and fresh limestone filtered water for the cows on local farms.

With the help of his family, including daughter Sophie who illustrates the whimsical labels, serves as Brand Manager and is also a Licensed Cheese Grader herself, Chris continuously brings us award-winning, characterful, and creative cheeses.
