Cheese Rushmore

News EditorCheese, Media

This is one story that really needs a photo to accompany it, but so far, I couldn’t find one. Troy Landwehr, commissioned by Cheez-It, has craved several famous presidents’ faces into a block of cheese. I’m sure once the “Cheese” Rushmore makes it to Times Square, we’ll get some fun photos!

It’s George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln – carved out of a giant block of cheese.

Wisconsin winemaker and cheese carver Troy Landwehr has turned a 318 kilogram block of cheddar into a replica of Mount Rushmore, the famed sculpture of the four former US presidents’ faces that is carved into the stone side of a mountain in South Dakota.

He is heading to New York City in coming days to appear on television and promote the sculpture in Times Square. Then the carving hits the road on a publicity tour. The carving eventually will end up in Oklahoma and be cut into cubes to become a snack itself.
