For individuals and families seeking high nutritional value and reduced risk of exposure to the toxins associated with factory farming practices, organic cheese is a healthy option.
Organic Valley crafts five varieties of semi-hard and semi-soft cheese from organic, non-homogenized, non-pasteurized milk. The organic milk used to craft our Grassmilk® cheeses comes from 100% grass-fed cows that receive only fresh pasture and dried forages, like hay, as well as minerals and vitamins as needed, but do not receive grain rations.
