HANDCRAFTED ARTISAN CHEESES
Made using century-old recipes, perfected with time and our unbeatable slow-pasteurization process
STORY BEHIND
Working with nature, we use fresh Jersey cow milk from a small family’s farm right here in California; Always without the use of hormones or antibiotics. All our cheeses are handcrafted in small batches using the finest natural ingredients
SECRET FORMULA
A great advantage to artisanal cheese is that between varying climates, differing animal feeds , and possible combinations of animal milks, the same practices never occur, even when the same recipes are used. Because of this, we can use tried-and-true formulas and apply them to our agriculture rich home with incredible results
AGED TO PERFECTION
While striving to uphold a standard of quality and taste, we firmly believe that the very best flavor is achieved with our skilled handiwork and old world farmstead style practices. We use California milk, & good old-fashioned waiting to get our award winning results
AGE OLD PRACTICE
Though no one really knows who made the very first cheese, historical records indicate that travelers from Asia brought their technique of cheesemaking to Europe before the Roman Empire nearly 4,000 years ago
