Wikipedia
Brick cheese is a cheese from Wisconsin, USA, made in brick-shaped form, also known as a square, which can be considered a rectangular shape. The color ranges from pale yellow to white, and the cheese has a sweet and mild flavor when young, and matures into a strong ripe cheese with age. It is medium-soft, crumbles easily and is somewhat sticky to the knife. Brick cheese is well-suited to slicing for sandwiches, specifically grilled cheese sandwiches, or appetizers and also melts well. Served with corn polenta in the Midwest, where the brick cheese is thinly sliced and caused to melt underneath the polenta and tomato sauce topping.
[edit] About Brick Cheese
Brick cheese is a semi-hard, cow's milk cheese originating in Wisconsin. It was developed by John Joosi in 1877.
The cheese has a number of small and irregular holes and an open texture.
The flavor is a mixture of sweet, spicy and nutty. As it ripens, it has a heady aroma and becomes almost as strong as limburger.
The name brick cheese is said to have come from the fact that bricks were once used to weight the curd and press out the whey.
