Sierra Nevada Cheese Co.
Information
Sierra Nevada Cheese Company
is owned by Ben Gregersen and John Dundon. Ben's parents, Danish dairy farmers, immigrated to Sacramento and started several successful dairy companies. Ben and John met while working for Ben's father at Foothill Home Dairy. Ben studied cheesemaking in Denmark and Canada and worked in the same Danish cheese plant as his grandfather. John began in the dairy industry while in high school working for a local Mt. Shasta Creamery and later spent some time at Brown Cow mastering the art of yogurt.
In 1997, Ben and John began making cheeses using traditional methods with the highest quality, rBSt-free milk available to sell at local farmers markets and natural foods stores. Demand grew quickly and Sierra Nevada relocated to Willows in Glenn County, a rural milkshed in the heart of Northern California.
In an age of industrial manufacturing—and overprocessing—Sierra Nevada offers real cultured dairy products. We are inspired to create products with uncompromised flavor and quality, providing families with the wholesome goodness of authentic, farmhouse-style dairy foods. All of our products are made with traditional techniques and values. We allow the cultures to do the work in a time-activated process. We are committed to making simple products with simple ingredients—which means no added gums or stabilizers, artificial flavors or added sugars. You will be able to taste the
difference in our traditonal methods!
