The Best Cheese for the Basket
If you’re from the Midwest, you’ll understand there’s something special about eating under the stars. Sometimes it’s just way too hot, and for several months there’s snow on the ground, but there’s a sweet in-between time, where having a lunch, dinner or snack while sprawled on a blanket under the soft grass can be just right. And on those nights, food just tastes better. So grab your wicker basket and checkered blanket and fill it with some of our personal picnic basket picks for a perfect meal in the field.
Snag some summer sausage
When summer is in the name, you know it’s the perfect picnic food. Our Shullsburg Creamery 7oz Summer Sausage comes in both Original and All-Beef varieties and are hardwood smoked for a savory flavor.
Make it a party
Grab some friends and a 1lb pack of Shullsburg Creamery Party Tray cheese and head for the great outdoors. Our Party Tray comes with Pepper Jack, Colby Jack, Mild Swiss and Mild Cheddar so there’s something for everyone. Convenient zip-locking bag and pre-sliced cheese makes this a ready-to-eat meal alongside some freshly cut fruit.
Don’t forget the wine
And we don’t mean your basic wine bottle, though you can bring this too! But if you want a bold wine flavor and don’t have a bottle, toss in a Shullsburg Creamery Port Wine Cold Pack Cheese Spread, available in 8 oz and 14 oz sizes. Made with natural aged Cheddar, this spread is infused with real port wine for a sophisticated, bold flavor – just add crackers!
Just Desserts
Save the fresh apple pie for another occasion and try one of our Shullsburg Creamery Dessert Balls instead. From rich and creamy chocolate chip caramel pecan to tart and fresh pineapple, our dessert balls are the preferred palate cleanser after a lovely outdoor meal.
