Joie de vivre!

At Northern Lights Artisan Cheese we simply strive to produce the highest quality cheese for our customer friends and family to enjoy.

The inspiration for our cheese begins with our passion for healthy local food. We use only the freshest local ingredients and natural sea salt. Our salt comes from the ancient salt pans of Trapani, Italy, and is rich in the precious trace minerals that are so vital to a healthy body.

A True Artisanal Blue Cheese

Each batch of Northern Lights Blue Cheese is hand crafted in small 100-wheel batches. We begin with fresh unpasteurized milk from a locally farmed herd of Brown Swiss cows. The cows are allowed to roam on pasture year round producing a nutrient rich milk that is perfect for our cheese. The penicillium roqueforti that we use, which produces the beautiful blue marbling in our blue cheese is derived from a gluten free source allowing our blue cheese to be 100% gluten free. We then age our cheese a minimum of 4 months. This is much longer than regular blues and contributes to its rich creamy texture and peppery taste.
