Cheese from Illinois. Sangamon. Named after a beautiful Illinois river, Sangamon is a smooth & firm, but still melt-in-your-mouth cheese, made with day-fresh milk and added cream, this cheese has a velvety texture and fresh, mild buttery flavor. Sangamon is terrific on it’s own, sublime on a warm baguette or as an elegant balance to stronger cheeses. Ludwig Farmstead Creamery’s Sangamon cheese took Blue Ribbon honors at the 2013 Illinois State Fair!
