Sierra Nevada Cheese began in 1997 when Ben and John started crafting cheese and butter using traditional methods and the highest-quality, rBST-free milk. They believe natural dairy should mean more—more flavor, more care, and more integrity. Crafted by multi-generational farmers who use sustainable practices, their butter goes beyond the ordinary. From pasture-raised milk to time-honored methods, each step reflects their promise of superior quality and wholesome simplicity. Every batch is given the time it needs to develop its rich, authentic flavor—free from shortcuts or unnecessary additives. As one of the first creameries to pay a premium for rBST-free milk, Sierra Nevada Cheese has always valued the dedication and hard work of the farming families who make our products possible. When you choose Sierra Nevada Cheese, you’re not just enjoying great dairy—you’re supporting a higher standard.
