    20 year cheddar! Well worth the price.
    Erik F.

    Where else can you buy 15, 18, 20 year cheddar? Carol (owner) is a spicy one! Her energy knocks my socks off. Joe's is family owned, passed down to Carol, and she worked with her father, and late-brother in the business. Carol told me she wandered to Newport Beach in the early 70's (I told you she is spicy) and then came back to Wisconsin in her hot Mustang. The cheese curds are squeaky, the cheddar is sharp, and many other varieties in her shop. I love Carol, and love her shop!

    This is the local, family owned cheese shop you have been looking for. We walked in and immediately were told all about the different cheeses, what to buy for the most cheese for your buck etc. the wonderful owner even gave us a story of the history of making cheese while showing us bowls and pots used back in the day. They only accept cash or check. We weren't sure if we had a check and while my husband went out to the car to check for some, the nice lady offered to just let us take the cheese and mail her the payment . She said, "we do things old fashioned here and believe people are good". There were locals in there buying their daily cheese too. If you are looking for a genuine cheese shop, not a tourist spot, this is the place for you! Can't say enough good t

    Delicious cheese. It's pricey but worth it. Carol the owner will talk a lot but her stories are interesting.

    My husband and I spent 3 weeks house-sitting near this shop and quickly fell in love with it…read more The restaurant is delicious. My husband and I shared: - Loaded Cheese Curds - French Onion Melt - Hot Honey Chicken Mac And Cheese - Strawberry Basil Lemonade Everything was fantastic. The cheese curds were the best we had while in Wisconsin. The flavor of the French Onion melt was so good. I loved the hot honey addition to the mac and cheese. We bought a ton of their cheese too and it was fantastic. They have so many other great goodies too. If I lived nearby, I would be here all the time. This is a must stop in Door County!

    Wisconsin has a serious reputation for cheese, so during our visit to Door County we wanted to find…read morea place to sample some. That's how we landed at Renard's. They had a wide range of cheeses and oils out for sampling, and the staff was friendly and walked us through the different varieties. One of them had us try a cheese dip with ghost peppers, which was hands down our favorite, creamy up front with a slow burn that built after. We picked up some cheddar, a tub of that dip, and a few beers for the road. We also grabbed food from the in-store café: a grilled French onion sandwich, tomato basil soup, and cheese curds. The sandwich and soup were the standouts. The curds were fresh and squeaky. We finished with their ice cream, which held up to everything else we'd eaten. The prices were low enough that the whole stop felt like a steal. A must-visit when you're in Sturgeon Bay.

    As a lifetime connoisseur of cheese curds, I like to think I know the right factors to look for in…read moreevaluating exceptional curd quality. The Laney curds were as good as they get! The first and obvious sign is the freshness factor. The proper octave of squeak is just not present in most of your basic b curds. Biting into Laney curds sounded like a happy pup gnawing on its favorite squeak toy. The most satisfying squeak of a fresh cheese curd upon gently pressing your fangs into them.. really knows no comparison. Next is proper saltiness. This cheese is too salty for me..said no one..ever. Laney curds had just the right amount of salt to keep you coming back for more but without feeling the need to fill up on worthless water, taking up much needed stomach real estate for precious cheese curds. Lastly, the texture is key. Soft but not rubbery and firm enough to produce the squeak is the sweet spot these curds achieved. Let them warm to room temp, and the softness produces a new and novel texture, making the thought of devouring the entire pound a near maddening obsession. Now that I have properly described the quality of the best cheese known to human kind, I can comment on other aspects of the business. Their small shop surrounded by farmland with homemade products is quite appealing. We were greeted with friendly service and found the price to be very competitive in regards to the cheese curd market value. Highly recommended, would nom their cheese again.

    Bought cheese from them yesterday. 6 dollars a pound for Colby and cheddar! I have bought better…read morecheese for nearly half that price! Absolutely over-priced in my opinion. Never go there again.
