cheese made in America comes from this region. Why are Midwestern cheeses so good? One reason is that grass grows well there, so cows con graze year-round. The milk of grass-fed cows
has a distinctive, earthy flavor. In addition, limestone rock is prevalent in the Midwest. When water flows through limestone, the limestone filters iron out of the water, resulting in a sweeter
taste. Cows drink this water and eat grass nourished by the water, so they produce sweeter mik.
