Bletsoe’s Cheese is a third generation cheese maker family. David and Bonnie Bletsoe are both owners and licensed cheese makers of Bletsoe Cheese, Inc of Marathon, Wisconsin. David's Father, Ken, started the tradition back in the 1930's in Price County. Today David and Bonnie's son, Mark is following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. David and Bonnie started their business in 1983. David though that it would be a good opportunity, David's been a cheese makers since high school.

The cheese factory was one of five cheese factories on Hamburg in the 1900's. Today it's the only fully operational cheese factory. The process the Bletsoe's use to make cheese is "hands on," versus an automated system. Using the old method of making cheese may take longer, but it's well worth it in every delicious bite.

Bletsoe’s Cheese is a family operated business from selling to processing, and everything in between. David, Bonnie, Mark and 7 other workers make and package customers order specially for them.
