One of the things I like to do on this website is carefully monitor what people are searching for and try to provide the specific information they requested. Today, I had a search for where to find brick cheese in Michigan. In case you don't know what brick cheese is, check out my earlier post on it. I recently took a trip to Wisconsin and brick cheese could easily be found at all the cheese places I visited. But I do not find the same to be said in Michigan. I prefer to use brick cheese over mozzarella on my pizzas (it is more flavorful), so I tried to find it whenever I can. The brick cheese I had in Wisconsin was superior to anything I have been able to find in Michigan so far. Below is a list of the places I have bought brick cheese from before. As I discover more, I will add them to the list.
Where to Buy Brick Cheese in Michigan
Horrock's (locations in Battle Creek and Lansing)
Holiday Market (Royal Oak, MI)
Vince & Joe's Gourmet Market (Shelby Township, MI)
Hiller's (found under the Yoder's brand, at least in Ann Arbor, but should be in their other locations as well)
**NOTE** Zingerman's Creamery in Ann Arbor sells a cheese called Detroit Street Brick. This is NOT the traditional brick cheese. This is a goat cheese that contains green peppercorns.

Hello,
This is an update.
This is four years after your posted information about Brick Cheese. We use the cheese in some Armenian recipes. Once upon a time we were able to purchase Yoder's Brick Cheese, regularly at the Plymouth Twp Hiller's. But can no longer find it there, nor at the Plum Mkt, or Arbor Farms Mkt in Ann Arbor.
Thank you for your information.
Regards,

Cantoro Italian Market & Trattoria in Livonia, Michigan carries brick cheese also.
