A<\/span> cheese made in the shape of a flower certainly stands out from the crowd in the cheese case. And with its apricot color and old-fashioned illustration, the design of the label on Dorothy\u2019s Comeback Cow<\/strong><\/a> also makes this cheese hard to ignore. The label honors the cheese\u2019s namesake, a pioneering cheesemaker from Lena, Illinois, says Sebastian Lehembre, senior brand manager for Savencia Cheese<\/a>, the parent company of Dorothy Cheese<\/a>. \u201cAnd as you explain the story of Dorothy Demeter, there is a lot to live up to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Dorothy\u2019s Cheese, there was Kolb-Lena Cheese Company, founded by husband-and-wife duo Freida Kolb and Karl Renter in the 1930s. Their daughter, Dorothy, carried on her parents\u2019 passion for cheesemaking, eventually becoming the first woman to earn a Dairy Science degree from Iowa State University and among the first in the U.S. to introduce domestic feta. Dorothy\u2019s Comeback Cow reflects her dedication to work \u201cuntil the the cows came home.\u201d The black and white portrait shows her gracefully riding a cow while holding an umbrella, a quirky image reminiscent of the 1940s.<\/p>\n

Under the label, the soft-ripened cow\u2019s milk cheese is rich and decadent, with a velvety texture and savory, complex flavors. The orange tinge on the bloomy rind is reflected on its sunset-colored packaging, and the distinctive shape evokes its home landscape. \u201cThe flower shape was extremely important,\u201d says Lehembre. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to cut, easy to recognize, and testimony to the flowers growing in Illinois by the Apple River Canyon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s just three years old, Comeback Cow holds a lot of history\u2014both inside the wheel and out<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
