Wisconsin Cheese – Did you know?

Cheesemakers in Wisconsin produced a record-setting 2.9 million pounds of cheese in 2014. More than one in every four pounds of cheese produced in the U.S. came from the state, says the National Ag Statistics Service.

If you should have the chance to visit with our friend Bob Bonifas at Sentry Insurance home office in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, ask him for directions to the Mullins Cheese Factory store just north of their headquarters.  

Mullins Cheese is the  largest family-owned and operated cheese factory in Wisconsin.  As the family has grown, so has the operation.  In addition to the original Knowlton facility, there is a second facility in the Marshfield area.  Both plants are continually updated with the latest technology to make them more efficient.  We supply premium quality cheese to our customers throughout the United States.

In 2001, Mullins Cheese expanded its operation to include a whey processing facility to produce whey protein isolate powder in addition to other by-products.  Through the use of ultrafiltration and microfiltration processes, whey protein can be concentrated from cheese whey to greater than 90% protein. With is high biological value, eases of digestion, and immune-boosting capabilities, whey protein isolate powder is an excellent source of protein for nutrition.  Mullins Whey products are sold worldwide for use in nutritional supplements, sports drinks, and food products.
