Fine, hand made artisan cheeses crafted in the heart of the Niagara Penninsula About Us Upper Canada Cheese In the first small, modern Niagara creamery in generations, Upper Canada Cheese Company hand crafts premium artisanal cheeses from the milk of local Guernsey cows. We express the unique terroir of our extraordinary Niagara Escarpment World Biosphere region with rich Guernsey milk and the talents of our cheesemakers. Browse through our Products for Sale Ingredients By special arrangement, our unique Guernsey milk is delivered to us in the morning by the transporter before they begin their regular route. This way, we are sure to get only pure Guernsey milk from the Comfort Farm. It also means we get up really early to make cheese. We have access to a single herd in Niagara owned by the Comfort family whose roots here date back to the time of the United Empire Loyalists in the late 18th century. The farm has been in their family for five generations and they remain dedicated to the land and to maintaining the herd. The Guernsey herd is fed hay in the winter when they are not outside and grain supplements that are grown and ground on the Comfort farm. The variation in diet results in interesting and intriguing changes in the cheese flavour and colour from season to season, underlining the artisanal qualities of our cheeses. Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) Built to the most rigourous food safety standards, our creamery is both a state of the art and small scale artisinal operation, focused completely on producing fine cheeses by hand. Additional Information Upper Canada Cheese Company opened in 2005 and our first cheese went to market in December 2005. Located in the heart of Niagara wine region and nestled in the village of Jordan Station, our modern creamery is tucked against the rail line, which, in the past was used to transport milk every day. It's distinctive design was inspired by traditional train stations of yester-year. Surrounded by vineyards, orchards and strawberry fields, it is a perfect spot to picnic and enjoy your delicious purchases. |
