I was fortunate enough to travel to Wisconsin and take a behind the scenes look at the cheesemaking process of Schuman Cheese. I wrote a story about that trip for The Daily Meal (which you can read here), however, I just had to share my experience here as well. Since...ya know...we are talking about cheese...And LOTS of it!
This isn't a sponsored post, I wasn't asked to write about it here on SB, I just had to share some of what I found out because it was SO fascinating and of course tasty!
Getting a behind the scenes look at fourth-generation Schuman Cheese...from dairy cow to plate...was fascinating (and delicious!!). From their philosophy that the best cheese starts with what their dairy cows eat, to their groundbreaking partnership with France's ENIL — École Nationale d’Industrie Laitière, or the National School of Dairy Industry, which operates under the French Ministry of Agriculture and set the standards for European cheese making.
For the love of cheese
For decades, Schuman lovingly made cheese products for other brands. Now, stepping into the spotlight under their own brands of Cello and Yellow Door Creamery, they are taking center stage and exciting cheese-lovers everywhere.
While on our tour of one of Schuman's 2 cheese-making facilities, we watched as the cheese was being made in its various stages. From the beginning of the process to the massive brining room where thousands of wheels of cheese floated, to the aging room and more. Huge wheels of Asiago, Parmesan, Fontina, Romano, and my favorite, Copper Kettle Parmesan were everywhere.
Variations
- Swap Oreos for homemade chocolate cookies or brownie crumbs.
- Top or layer with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Instead of shooters make one large trifle-like bowlful.
Tips
- The better quality your mascarpone, the better the dessert.
- Make Nutella mascarpone mixture ahead of time and pipe/layer with Oreo crumbs shortly before serving.
I hope you LOVE this easy mascarpone Nutella dessert! It's love at first bite! XO Colleen

A common feedback i get it once you eat you cant stop
However I would love to know the calories in it hehe
Carin Johnson says
It is good but extremely rich and high fat. I actually doubled the recipe, And was able to make a quantity of 20 servings. Be aware, the servings are only the size of the small shallow plastic cups you get jello shots in.
