Who It's For

This Brick cheese is aimed at home cooks and entertaining hosts who want a dependable, mild melting cheese in a larger block. It is ideal for those who make baked pasta, grilled sandwiches, or regional styles of pizza and who appreciate a creamy texture and gentle sweetness rather than a sharp bite.
