One of the most famous dairy farms in the world is actually located right here in Iowa, and they’re the makers of the incredibly delicious Maytag blue cheese. If you haven’t yet, you’ll definitely want to visit.
Located in central Iowa near Newton, Maytag Dairy Farms makes some of the best cheese in the world.
Maytag Dairy Farms typically ages their cheese twice as long as most other blue cheese. That, along with the painstaking small batch process and exceptionally high quality ingredients, is what makes this cheese so special.
In addition to their famous blue cheese, they also offer many other types of cheese of incredibly high quality, like several varieties of cheddar cheese and a La Petite Blue, a soft ripened French style cheese delicately layered with Maytag mold.
When you visit, you can take a walking tour overlooking the farm.
