Do You Know?

When you use pasture-raised milk like we do, you get cream cheese that’s the perfect blend of savory, sweet, salty and smooth.
Organic Valley’s mission is to provide a stable, sustainable pay price to farmers so they can continue farming with their families. It all started in 1988, when seven farmers got together to find a way to market their goods and make a sustainable living by producing organically derived food.
July 13, 1988, was the first day that Organic Valley^® cheese was made!
