Howdy Cheese Lovers!
In the frosty embrace of January, the cheese market is as active as ever. Retail demand for varietal cheeses remains steady, offering a diverse selection for cheese enthusiasts. While food service demand has softened slightly, retail outlets continue to flourish. Cheese makers report that Class III milk volumes are readily available, ensuring a steady production of cheese. This abundance is reflected in the moderate demand from international buyers, with domestic prices currently poised to attract more export interest.
As we huddle indoors to escape the cold, let’s turn our attention to a Mexican-inspired dip to warm up our taste buds. In celebration of the new El Reparo Mexican Grill in town, why not try a Spicy Queso Blanco Dip? Made with smooth queso blanco, a splash of milk, and diced green chilies for that extra kick, it’s the perfect companion to tortilla chips or fresh veggies. This dip is not just a delicious treat but also a nod to the rich flavors of our new local culinary addition.
Stay warm and cheesy, Minot!
