The Cheese!

What makes our cheese special?  The flavor, the health benefits, the color, the process, and much more! The milk used in our cheeses is raw.  That's right- straight from the cow.  And the cow eats only forage.  This makes the milk a lot different from conventional milk from grain fed cows.  The milk from cows that only eat grasses, forbs, legumes etc (with no grain supplementation) is a lot higher omega 3 and CLA fatty acids.  The flavor profile and texture of each batch varies slightly due to its artisanal nature and the length it is aged.

We currently make 3 varieties:

River Fog- our signature creamy jack style.  We like it best when it has been aged 6 to 12 months

River Jack- our jack style with organic black pepper added.

River's Fork- a cheddar style with a mellow grassiness that starts to bite with age.  Usually aged 8-12 months.
