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.
