Why Our Cheese?

We pride ourselves in making cheese from pure, wholesome milk, delivered fresh from the family-owned Comfort Farms, located in Saint Anns, Ontario.

Unlike large-scale cheese producers that alter and adjust the composition (e.g. butterfat, protein, etc.) of the milk used for cheesemaking, Upper Canada Cheese Company relies on seasonality and terroir – so we do not standardize our cheesemaking milk. By doing so, the milk we use is transformed into cheese of unique taste and texture that reveals a subtle range of flavours influenced by the seasons, forage and feed. Each wheel of cheese is produced by hand, ensuring genuine care and quality, but also resulting in cheeses that are more complex in taste.

Upper Canada Cheese uses 100% pure and delicious Guernsey milk to produce our award-winning cow’s milk cheeses. In fact, we are the only creamery in all of Canada to produce cow’s milk cheese with 100% Guernsey milk. If you’ve been avoiding cheese because milk doesn’t sit right with you, give our cheeses a try!
