Our Cheeses

Our family of cheeses all originate from an Old World-style base recipe that started with our Northern Gold, a golden, buttery, nutty cheese perfect for snacking or cooking

Black Butte Reserve

Black Butte Reserve, made only during spring when our grasses are green and lush. The intense flavors of the grasses influence the milk, which we then make into 20-pound wheels and age at least 6 months. This cheese won a gold medal for aged hard cheeses at the 2007 California State Fair.

Blondies Best - Cheese

Blondie’s Best

Blondie’s Best, named after our family’s very first cow, who quickly became the family pet and was allowed to freely roam the property. This two-pound “baby wheel” gives a bit of a younger flavor than its Northern Gold counterpart. It’s also mild and buttery, but is pressed lighter to give it a ‘fluffier’ texture.

Northern Gold

Northern Gold

We flavor our best-selling Northern Gold with herbs and spices, creating a delicious golden cheese with unique flavors throughout. These include:

  • Garlic and Herb, a delicious combination that imparts a full-bodied flavor with flecks of herbs visible throughout the cheese.
  • Coriander, the seeds of the cilantro plant, that gives the cheese a slightly sweet flavor. Wonderful sliced thin with fruit.
  • Peppercorn, for the pepper lover! We use whole peppercorns to give the cheese an earthy flavor.
  • Red Pepper, with mild heat and beautiful red flakes throughout.
