You can’t have a loaded backed potato without cheese. It’s definitely the best part and I prefer the award-winning Black Creek® Preemium Cheddar Cheese from Wisconsin’s Fox River Valley. The region’s cows graze on nutrient-rich grasses producing distinctly rich and creamy milk. Under the watchful eye of a Certified Master Cheesemaker, this milk is conscientiously cultivated into smooth, full-flavored Cheddar. Aged for up to three years, Black Creek® Cheddar offers a sharp flavor that is both rich and nutty.
