Cedar Valley Cheese, Inc.
The Cedar Valley Cheese Factory was founded in 1947. As a part of many expansions, the Cedar Valley Cheese Store opened in May of 2006 with 2000 square feet of space. The store is jointly owned by Tracy Hiller and Sue Okray.
It was decided early on that cheese was going to be the primary focus and is front and center when customers walk in the door. This led to finding over 300 different cheese choices a customer can find to buy.
The most popular cheese for purchase is the Factory Fresh String Cheese, which is made daily at the attached factory. Many customers are amazed at how fresh and stringy this cheese really is; a huge difference than what is purchased in a grocery store. It is a true Wisconsin favorite!
In May of 2010 a new addition doubled the store size, including more coolers, storage and a prep room. There was also booth seating added for anyone wishing to relax and have some ice cream.
In November 2010, the store obtained a license to sell wine on the premises. Many Wisconsin wines are featured. Every Saturday there is wine and cheese tasting all day long.
The two busiest times of year are the vacation travelers during the summer and Christmas holiday season. Many people stop on their way to Elkhart Lake for Road America or the Osthoff. Christmas is also extremely busy. More and more individual and companies are sending gift boxes from Cedar Valley Cheese Store. A gift of cheese is something that can be enjoyed by anyone.
All are welcome to come and visit us!
