A new bill that aims to name colby cheese as Wisconsin’s official state cheese is currently circulating for co-sponsors in the Wisconsin State Legislature. Colby cheese was first developed near Colby, Wisconsin in 1885 — and has since spread to grocery stores across the world.
For more on the proposal, our producer Jonah Chester spoke with State Representative Donna Rozar, a Republican from Marshfield and one of the bill’s co-sponsors.
