Milton Creamery
| Milton Creamery’s Four Alarm Cheddar is a young, artisanal cheese from Iowa, blending Mennonite and Amish dairy traditions. Made from locally sourced, rBGH-free, pasture-raised cow milk, it uses vegetable rennet and a proprietary culture. The cheese incorporates a blend of four peppers—chipotle, jalapeño, chili, and ghost pepper—that create a layered, delayed heat profile with smoky, vegetal, and intense spicy notes. Aged 3-6 months to retain moisture and creamy texture, it melts well for cooking. Marketed as a premium product, it pairs best with stout beers and sweet wines, offering a balanced culinary and sensory experience rooted in regional stewardship and innovation. | |
