Milwaukee Spreads Mozzarella on Icy Roads
Milwaukee gets its fair share of snow and ice, and the city has come up with an ingenious way of dealing with it: they spread mozzarella on the roads. In fact, Wisconsin, which produces much of the US’s cheese supply, has tried many different cheese brines to clear up snow, using leftover waste from the cheese-making process as it’s readily available throughout the state. Ultimately, mozzarella and other cheeses with a high salt content prove most effective at melting ice.
