Yes. All of our products are pasteurized. U.S. law requires that all fresh cheeses that are aged less than 60 days must be pasteurized.
Our following products are certified Kosher by Kashruth Certification: Chabis (all varieties), Logs (Original, Garlic & Chive, Orange Blossom Honey), Spreadable Goat Cheese/Chef's Chèvre (all varieties), Medallion (Original, Garlic & Chive), Marinated Goat Cheese (Thyme & Rosemary, Jalapeño Chili), Ash-Rind Buchette and Crottin.
Yes, all of our cheeses are gluten-free.
We only use a microbial (non-animal) rennet, suitable for vegetarians, to make our cheeses.
Yes. Cheese is made from milk with an added bacterial culture. This culture consumes almost all of the lactose in the milk while producing a distinct flavor. When cheese is made, the culture converts the lactose, or milk sugar, into lactic acid. Generally speaking, goat milk contains slightly less lactose than cow milk, but it's always good to check with a doctor before eating goat cheese if you are sensitive to lactose.
Our products are not organic; however, our products are made with all-natural, fresh, domestic milk in sustainable conditions in our LEED Gold-certified dairy.
We do not add vitamins to our products; however, vitamin D is already in the milk. Products such as butter, cheese, eggs and fish are the richest sources of vitamin D.
Of course, we use milk, but our products are free from eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat and gluten.
