Pinconning Cheese is an aged semi-soft whole cow's milk cheese named for Pinconning, Michigan, USA, near where it was first produced. It was developed by Dan Horn sometime after 1915 as an aged version of Colby Cheese. By the 1940s it was also being produced by the Williams Cheese Company. It is available in mild, medium, sharp, extra sharp and super sharp. Its hardness and sharpness increase with aging. Pinconning's flavour and texture are unusual.
