🧀 Meet the Cheesemaker: Justin Snyder
For the past 15 years, Justin has been an important part of the Carr Valley Cheese family, helping craft the award-winning cheeses our customers know and love.
🧀What drew you to cheesemaking?
I've always loved cheese. There is something special about the tradition of cheesemaking in Wisconsin that initially drew me in. It's challenging, there's room to be creative, and there are always opportunities to learn.
🧀Why is it important to support our dairy farms in your eyes?
Carr Valley has a reputation for producing award-winning cheese, and we simply couldn't do what we do without our local farms producing the highest quality milk. These dairy farms are the backbone of our communities, providing jobs, caring for the land, and helping feed families around the world.
🧀What's your favorite cheese?
Caso Bolo Mellage. Crafted into 4 pound balls from cow, goat, and sheep milk, it's a challenging cheese to produce. As a cheesemaker it keeps you on your toes! If you're still on the fence about sheep or goat milk, give Caso Bolo Mellage a try!
Today, we're celebrating the skilled hands, dedication, and passion behind every wheel, block, and curd. Thank you, Justin, and all of our cheesemakers, for carrying on Wisconsin's cheesemaking tradition every day.
