Fry, Fiesta, Fun! Specialty Cheese Company’s Frying Cheeses are Cinco de Mayo Goals 🎉🧀🌶️
Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner — and you know what that means: it’s time to bring the sizzle to your celebration!
Move over chips and salsa — this year, we're making frying cheese the star of the party. 🌟
When you think Wisconsin cheese, you might picture classic Cheddar, creamy Havarti, or aged Parmesan...
But guess what? Ethnic favorites like Hispanic-style frying cheese are thriving in America's Dairyland too — and trust us, WI milk + traditional Hispanic cheese recipes = PURE HEAVEN for your palate! 🧀✨
Straight from the charming town of Reeseville, Wisconsin, the talented team at Specialty Cheese Company is bringing a melty touch of magic with their fabulous line-up of frying cheeses. And believe us — once you fry one, you’ll want to fry them all. 🔥
Meet the Cheeses:
🧀 Traditional Frying Cheese
Classic, salty, golden perfection. Think of it like the life of the party who knows all the dance moves.
🌶️ Jalapeño Frying Cheese
A spicy kick that’s just enough to get the party started — and keep it going. Mild heat, major flavor.
🍍 Fruit Frying Cheese
Hints of sweet pineapple and mango tucked inside rich, savory cheese. It's like a tropical vacation — without the TSA lines.
🧄 Garlic Frying Cheese
Savory, aromatic, and bold. This one's basically the foodie version of fireworks.
How to Fry Like a Pro 🔥
Slice cheese into thick planks or cubes.
Heat a non-stick pan to medium-high (no breading needed!).
Sear each side for 1–2 minutes until golden and crispy.
Serve immediately for maximum gooey goodness.
Minimal effort. MAXIMUM YUM.
