The third night (in a row) of going to our favorite neighborhood cheese shop led us to find a cheese with a very awesome taste and story. Pastoral Artisan Cheese and Wine (
http://www.pastoralartisan.com/) featured a cheese called Stravecchio that is made by a bunch of former Kraft employees who worked at a cheese factory. Basically, these guys pooled their money togetether to buy the plant in order to make their own cheese. Carpe Diem.
This is from the Antigo Cheese Company In 1993, the owners--one of the biggest names in food manufacturing today--announced they would close the plant and move to more modern facilities. In a bold attempt to protect their employment base and a 70-year history in cheesemaking, the employees, milk patrons and investment community of Antigo pooled resources and bought the plant.
