The Enchanted Vault: Aged Cheese Display

This temperature-controlled vault displays our rarest aged cheeses, matured to perfection and packed with rich, complex flavor. Come take a peek and learn how aging transforms cheese into a deep, nutty, luxurious masterpiece.
From the freshest squeaky curds to the most time-honored wheels, the Cheese Haus is a must-see (and must-taste!) experience at the festival.
Don’t forget to take a photo with Klaus the Mouse near the cheese wall — and grab a wedge or three to take home.
