Wisconsin lawmakers are once again looking to make Colby cheese the state’s official cheese.
A state Senate panel will take-up the plan later this morning. Supporters say since Colby cheese was developed in Colby, Wisconsin, the state should recognize it as the true-Wisconsin-cheese that it is. But other lawmakers say Wisconsin produces so many different cheeses, that naming one the ‘official cheese,’ will be an insult to other cheesemakers. The plan has been floated in the past, but has always fallen short.
