🧀 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.

Today, on National Cheesemaker Day, we want to pause and recognize the talented cheesemakers who pour their hearts into every batch we produce.

Cheesemaking is more than a profession—it's a craft built on patience, dedication, and generations of knowledge passed down through the years. Every wheel turned, vat stirred, and curd carefully handled reflects a commitment to quality that cannot be rushed.

We are incredibly grateful for the hardworking individuals who arrive before sunrise, work through long days, and take pride in preserving traditions while continuing to innovate. Their passion is the reason we are able to share award-winning cheeses with customers across the country.

To our cheesemakers, past and present, thank you for carrying forward this craft and for the care you put into every piece of cheese that bears the Carr Valley name.
Happy National Cheesemaker Day. 🧀

Some things never go out of style.

This photo shows cheesemakers hand-pailing curds into a wheel press—a traditional step in the cheesemaking process that helps create the quality and character of each wheel.

While this image may be from years ago, the craftsmanship remains the same. At Carr Valley, many of our cheeses are still made using these hands-on methods today, preserving the traditions that have been passed down through generations of Wisconsin cheesemakers.

It's a reminder that great cheese starts with time, care, and skilled hands.

Does anyone recognize this cheesemaker? Hint: he was a fixture at the La Valle plant for over 50 years!

Our newest cheese is getting a lot of attention! 🧀

Bitsy Brie is a small-batch creation with a creamy, buttery texture and delicate bloomy rind that Brie lovers will adore.

We're down to a limited number of wheels currently available in our stores, but don't worry—more are already in the works and will be back soon!

If you've been curious to try this new addition to the Carr Valley lineup, now is a great time to stop by and pick up a wheel before this batch is gone.

From carefully stirring the curd to hand-hooping and aging, many of our cheeses are still made using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. Our cheesemakers work hands-on throughout the process, ensuring every batch receives the attention and care that artisan cheesemaking demands.

It's a labor of love, rooted in Wisconsin tradition and powered by local milk, skilled craftsmanship, and a passion for quality.

🧀🌾 Introducing Bitsy Brie 🌾🧀

Delicate in size, yet rich in character — Bitsy Brie is our newest handcrafted creation. Made from Wisconsin cow’s milk, this petite wheel offers a luxuriously creamy texture and a beautifully balanced, buttery finish.

Hand-crafted the old-fashioned way with careful attention to detail, each wheel reflects the tradition and artistry behind every batch.

Perfect for an elegant cheese board, an intimate summer gathering, or a moment of simple indulgence. Enjoy with crusty bread, fresh fruit, or baked with honey and herbs, and pair with sparkling wine, crisp whites, or refreshing summer sips like pear juice or lavender lemonade.

Now available exclusively in Carr Valley Cheese stores.✨

🧀 June Dairy Month Cheesemaker Spotlight: Meet Trebor (pictured right)! 🧀

Behind every great cheese is a passionate cheesemaker, and this June Dairy Month we're proud to introduce Trebor, one of the talented individuals helping craft award-winning cheeses at Carr Valley Cheese.

🧀How long have you been at Carr Valley?

I've been working for Carr Valley for 5 years.

🧀What drew you to cheesemaking?

I originally applied for a store manager position but was offered a position as an assistant cheesemaker. I've always enjoyed studying science, and trying to consistently produce a great product with the natural variations of milk while working against time constraints keeps the job fun and engaging.

🧀Why is supporting dairy farms important to you?

Wisconsin is the Dairy State for a reason, and I'm happy to help keep the tradition of cheesemaking alive and strong. I especially appreciate the small dairy farms that rely on their cattle producing the best milk possible. The diversity of Wisconsin's landscapes and farms creates unique milk that helps make our cheeses distinct.

🧀What's your favorite Carr Valley cheese?

Mobay is my favorite because you can enjoy three different flavor profiles from one piece. A recent cheese we've released, Sante, is also one of my favorites. It recently earned Best in Class at the World Championship Cheese Contest. Both are made in Mauston, and I'm proud to share them with friends and family.

This June Dairy Month, we're celebrating the people, passion, and Wisconsin milk that make our cheeses possible. Thank you, Trebor, for helping carry on the tradition of artisan cheesemaking! 🧀❤️
