Cheese Statistics – Idaho
Idaho is cheesy and so is Wisconsin and California. But it not what you think. Idaho is the third “cheesiest” state in the United States. I was surprised to find out from the Department of Agriculture that Idaho ranks 3rd in the US for the total production of cheese for September 2008.
The Idaho Cheese City?
Could Mountain Home, Idaho be considered the “Cheesehead Capitol” of Idaho? Why not! We have the Marathon Cheese factory located right here. Can you think of any other city in Idaho that has a the cheesy resources we have?
When I Think Cheese
When I think of “cheese”, I use to think of Wisconsin, Vermont, and New York cheeses. I don’t think that anymore. Here are the cheese statistics.
Third Place
As you see above, Idaho ranks third in total cheese production but I wouldn’t expect us to jump in the Cheese Rankings any time soon. We’ll have to settle for being the third cheesiest state. But I can live with that.
