Cheesemaking in the United States is an inspired story of artisanship and excellence that dates back hundreds of years, representing the vast multicultural experiences brought to the United States by immigrants. Today, talented and creative cheese artisans all across the country, from large operations to small family-based productions, push traditional limits toward new and elegant cheese flavors.
This excellence, forged from experience but unbound by tradition, has led to U.S. cheeses becoming increasingly recognized around the world for their craftsmanship, innovation, variety and versatility. Each of these attributes has a deeper story that is uniquely American.
