Looking for a cheese that will light your tastebuds on fire?  If spice is your thing, keep reading!


Hot Pepper
If you are used to mild cheeses but want to explore the spicier side of life, we suggest starting with our Shullsburg Creamery Hot Pepper.  This cheese is blended with just a touch of jalapeno peppers to put some pep in your step!  It may make your mouth water, but not your eyes.  This cheese is available online in 3oz, 8oz, 10oz, by the pound and whole loaf.  We rate this one a 3 on our Shullsburg Scale of Spice.

Extra Hot Pepper
Step it up just a notch and try our Shullsburg Creamery Extra Hot Pepper.  We’ve added even more jalapenos to this fiery food to turn up the heat and get your heart racing.  You may want to have some ice-cold water on hand when sampling this one.  This cheese is available online in 8oz, by the pound and whole loaf.  We give this cheese a 5 on our Shullsburg Scale of Spice.

Ghost Pepper
If you are scared of spice, then this cheese may be haunting to you, but for those of you with a sweet spot for spice, this cheese is sure to cast a spell.  Four times hotter than a Habanero pepper, Ghost Peppers pack a punch when blended into this cheese.  We love melting Shullsburg Creamery Ghost Pepper in our favorite recipes or snacking on it with some mellow water crackers and a BIG glass of Prairie Farms milk nearby!  This cheese is available online in 8oz, by the pound and whole loaf.  We give this cheese a 7 on our Shullsburg Scale of Spice.

Carolina Reaper
When it comes to spice, the Carolina Reaper reigns supreme.  Twice as hot as a Ghost Pepper, it is ranked as “The World’s Hottest Pepper” according to the Guinness Book of World Records.  For only the bravest of spice lovers, we’ve added this pepper to our Shullsburg Creamery Carolina Reaper.  This cheese is available online in 8oz.  Trust us when we say…you’ll feel the burn.  It’s no surprise we have to give this cheese a 10 on our Shullsburg Scale of Spice.

Tell us, where do you fall on our spicy scale?

Meet Rosey, the 2025 Cheesefest Carving

It was one beautiful day at this year's Cheesefest, taking place in historic downtown Water Street earlier this month.  And one of the event's favorite attractions is always the sculpted Cheddar cow.  Shullsburg Creamery proudly donates a 40-pound block of Cheddar each year to sculptor Vicki Janisch, who then does her magic.  We caught up with Vicki to understand the inspiration behind this year's cow!
