Who We Are

Nestled near the pristine waters of Lake Huron, Pine River Cheese has been an integral part of Ontario's culinary heritage for over a century. Founded in 1885 and operating previously as a farmer-owned co-operative since 1939, our cheese is more than just food; it’s a cherished memory for many who've grown up savoring its flavor by the lake.  

For generations, locals and visitors alike have stood at our observation deck, watching the magic of cheese-making unfold before their eyes. Our commitment to traditional small-batch production ensures that every cheese we create is infused with genuine passion and the freshest milk locally supplied.
