We always stop here for curds and other cheeses. They are always knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely try the garlic curds if they are fresh. Those are our favs. So far!

Good prices and good product. The curds weren't as salty as others, but hey - that's not a bad thing. I swing by here every time I golf out in Spring Green or Plain. Not a giant store with overwhelming selection - and I like that.

I haven't been here physically in several years, but my family and I used frequent here semi yearly when we visited family. Lately we've made a tradition of ordering cheese from them online for even the smallest occasions. We love their cheese and no one beats it. Treat yourself, get the good cheese. I recommend the cheddar.

Cheese, cheese, and even more cheese! I have been driving past the Arena Cheese Factory for decades, but have never stopped in until now. Being from Wisconsin, I know a thing or two about cheese. I even worked in an Italian cheese factory (in Wisconsin) while I was in high school. While back visiting relatives, my cousin told me that Arena Cheese has good quality cheese and reasonable prices. He suggested I stop and check it out; so I did.As you walk in, there is a large refrigerated display case with a good variety of cheese; I'll come back to this later. Continue to the right and around the corner, there are more displays of various sausages and other items. On the far left is what you want: Bulk Cheeses! Now, you have to really like your cheese to venture back here because they are bulk! But at prices as low as $3 per pound, it is a great deal!I decided to buy a 6-pound log of Pepper Jack Cheese that I can use for omelettes and grilled cheese sandwiches. When we get home, I plan to cut it into five or six pieces and then vacuum seal them. We also grabbed a bag of cheese curds and, from the first display as we entered, I browsed and finally selected a Brick Cheese. They do have a few samples out if you are not sure what to buy. And bring a cooler with plenty of ice. The girl at checkout told me they are open 8am to 6pm daily, including Sunday. Oh, and they also have a clean restroom! Yay!!

Review is based solely on their cheese curds. SO GOOD. We got to this place by accident around 9:30am. We love cheese so we decided to buy some. They had cheese curds out that were made that morning! I've never had curds that squeaked as much as these, they were so fresh and yummy! We had half a bag eaten before we even left the parking lot so I went back and bought more. We bought other cheese too but have yet to try it. The restroom was clean but did not have a baby changing table.

No complaints! It's Wisconsin cheese,, what can you say. The little samples were tasty. I bought a little chunk of munster. Best munster I think I've ever had. Good alone. Service was super friendly and mellow.

I have passed by this place for years and finally decided to stop in on a Sunday afternoon. As it is attached to the cheese factory itself, there is a window that you can watch production through. Obviously, on a Sunday, there was no one working but still a cool feature. Evidently, they invented Co-Jack cheese and there is plenty to be had here from small blocks to ginormous tubes. I picked up some curds, some co-jack and pimento. They do carry a few other brands but not an extensive selection.

I am originally from Illinois but currently live in Florida. I have been to the Madison area many times throughout my life and Arena cheese is the best i have ever had. Last year, my friend ordered me some Arena cheese for Christmas (she is originally from Spring Green) so this year, for her birthday, I ordered us a ton of Cheese curds and they were delivered fresh and fast here to us in Florida. We love you all at Arena Cheese for shipping and have turned many of our coworkers on to you all.
