Cave Aged Bandaged Cheddar 2
oil on wood, 8x8"
This is my 2nd portrait of this amazing cheddar. I had been sent a quarter of a wheel from Willi Lehner at his Blue Mont Dairy, who won Best In Show, 3rd place at the American Cheese Society's annual conference. The ACS commissioned it and I restrained myself from eating all of it right away, so I could get this 2nd painting in for myself. This time I focused a little more on it's beautiful cloth bound rind.
Called the renegade cheesemaker of Wisconsin, Willi Lehner is a second generation cheesemaker with a strong swiss heritage. He developed an appreciation and influence of terroir on cheese in his youth, during a summers spent herding cows and making cheese in the Swiss Alps. Also, when Willi took the stage to accept his best in show ribbon, in lieu of an acceptance speech he opted to yodel.
