Review from Amanda Z.

This store is right up the hill from my grandparents house, so this is the place my family would always hit up when in the market for some delicious Wisconsin cheese.
Made fresh on site, this the store to not only buy your cheese (any kind you can imagine), but also observe how the cheese is made in the observation gallery.
Also available? Cheese paraphernalia...cheese hats, ties, all you can handle cheese product.
Cheeseheads are crazy... -

This is a very nice cheese shop. Like others have stated, hitting the bargain bins is the way to go. We got quite an assortment of cheeses on our mini adventure. One cannot venture north of the Cheddar Curtain without returning with a boat load of cheese, so this is certainly a stop for any cheese lover visiting the Green County area.
We got everything from Cheese curds to Limburger and then some. They also offer tours of their factory, but you need to call ahead to secure a spot.Listed in: Checking out some Dairy Air

They fulfill all of my cheese needs and fantasies.
Alp and Dell would be the one and only place to buy cheese in all of Green County. I have friends, old roommates, co-workers that request cheese when I come up to the area and I go straight here.
My favorites include: aged cheddar (5 year), butter kase, smoked gouda, cheese curds and the Van Gogh cheese. Mmm...wish I had some right now!Listed in: Wisco Roadtrip!

I am told that this place is the best in Green County, which itself is a cheese standout among Wisconsin cheese-producing regions. So although I have nothing to which to compare it, I can say that this is a GREAT place to come for cheese.
The bargain bins should have almost everything for which you might be looking, although perhaps not in the size that you have in mind. I wanted a bunch of little pieces of various cheeses to try, and the bargain bins supplied all but one, including Dill Havarti, Peppadew Havarti, Gruyere, and Fontina (both Swedish- AND Italian-style!). The regular cheese prices are entirely reasonable; stuff in the bargain bins is a steal!
Peppadew havarti: A-
Gruyere: C+, strangely bland
Swedish-style Fontina: B+
Dill havarti: B, great on a turkey sandwich
Smoked gouda: B-, the wedge that I brought home was sort of rough-tasting and a big disappointment compared to the awesome stuff that I sampled in the store
Van Gogh: A, SO smooth and creamy, just slightly sweet and nutty, one of the best cheeses I've ever had. I ate an entire wedge of this stuff in two days and I have never been more than a cheese nibbler.
If I ever make another trip to Monroe, I will be sure to stop in to get some Van Gogh and to try a few others. -

Is a three hour drive worth it for some cheese? Most definitely! I try to go there when I visit my Aunt's farm because they have the best cheese selection ever and it is CHEAP. They also have various candies, summer sausages, and real honey and maple syrup but I strictly stick to the cheese.
Of course their staff knows anything and everything about cheese which is a good thing becasue I normally leave that place with 3 or 4 cheeses that I've never heard of. They also make some custom made options like cheddar with horseradish and muenster with mushrooms. I try to limit myself to 10 minutes because it is the only way I won't spend a mortgage payment there. -
