GRASSMILK® CHEESE

Made exclusively from Organic Valley® Grassmilk® milk, Grassmilk® Cheese is a semi-hard white cheddar with flower petal top-notes and a complex, buttery finish that’s bold enough to stand up to horseradish, yet mild enough to pair with a Chardonnay.

What do 100% grass-fed cows eat?

Like any lactating mammal, humans included, a cow's nutritional and energy needs greatly increase when she produces milk. Our 100% grass-fed cows are provided with the highest quality fresh organic pasture grasses and legumes (such as alfalfa and clover) in summer, dried grasses and legumes in the winter, and supplements in the form of minerals, vitamins and molasses year-round. Molasses is produced by crushing the leaves of cane grass. These cows' milk goes into our exceptional-quality Grassmilk® brand milk, half and half, and cheese products.
