Sierra Nevada Cheese Company
Sierra Nevada Cheese Company was founded in 1997 by Ben Gregersen and John Dundon. Ben and John began to introduce their cheeses at local farmers markets; soon after demand for the products increased and their cheeses were sought out by local retail stores. In 2003, the company's successful growth allowed them to relocate the creamery 100 miles north of Sacramento to Willows, California, where they are still located today. Sierra Nevada Cheese Company strives to create the best-tasting dairy products by keeping true to our own philosophy - a clean ingredient list coupled with traditional manufacturing methods. In an age of industrialized manufacturing, Sierra Nevada's pure ingredients and simple processing provide the wholesome goodness of authentic, farmhouse-style dairy foods.
