Well. I got more than milk.
That's because the tiny Milk 'n' More store carries a variety of dairy-based goods.
This is excellent news if you live around Tempe, or commute with any regularity to the west ends of Broadway Road.
Milk 'n' More is, first, a convenience store. It was originally intended to provide milk truck drivers and the other plant workers at United Dairy Farmers big processing operations right there south of Broadway with a place to find a quick lunch.
But it grew (just a little). Now, you can find milk, cream, butter and cheese, too - all Arizona made.
The Arizona cheddar and cheddar with jalapenos is tart, creamy and (with jalapenos) with a small, but distinct bite.
The Arizona jack cheese is firm, not rubbery, and with a pleasant tang.
The store also sells butter, both "regular" and "European grade." The European grade butter has a sweet, clean taste, without an "oily" component. The regular is, well, butter.
Prices at Milk 'n' More for milk and cheese are slightly under supermarket prices; butter prices are in line with current market pricing.
The store is open at 2008 S. Hardy (Hard/Broadway) from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Besides dairy and lunch products, there is also a small gift selection for sale (cows! cows on mugs! cows on pins! cows on…you get the picture).
Oh! Wait, there's more. For all you cheeseheads out there…Milk 'n' More sells bags of cheese curds. On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, there are free samples.
I'm not from Wisconsin. Never ate a cheese curd. But later this week….I'll let you know.
