Steve Stettler
Steve Stettler has cheese in his blood. That might not sound healthy, but itâs likely the reason this third-generation cheesemaker has enjoyed great professional success as head of Brodheadâs Decatur Dairy.
A 1973 graduate of New Glarus High School, Stettler has been making cheese for nearly 50 years. He earned his first Master Cheesemaker certification in 1999. Since then, he has become a master cheesemaker of cheddar, brick, Havarti, Muenster, farmerâs cheese and specialty Swiss. Last year, he became the stateâs first master cheesemaker of cheese curds.
