On this day in 1922, our story truly began. 🥂

Dominic and Filomena (Bredice) Fantello were married 104 years ago today at Mt. Virgin Church. Shortly after, they moved to the 60-acre farm in Enumclaw where we still stand today.

Their journey wasn’t easy, after losing Dominic far too young, Filomena raised four children and kept this farm running with a strength that still inspires us. She milked cows on her own until she was 82! Today, we don't just make cheese; we honor the long, hard days and the unwavering love they poured into this land. 🧀🌾

Our butter starts with the rich cream from our Jersey cows.

We culture the cream before churning, allowing natural fermentation to develop the deep, slightly tangy flavor traditional butter is known for.

The result is a butter that is rich, creamy, and naturally golden.

Simple ingredients.
Traditional methods.
Full of flavor.

Check out that incredible cream line! Real Jersey milk 6% butterfat!

Filomena’s uniqueness begins with the Jersey breed, renowned for producing the world’s most nutrient-dense dairy. During the winter, this milk becomes a powerhouse hitting a staggering 6% butterfat. Fueled by local plateau hay, this rich Jersey milk provides a yielding abundance in the vat, trading the bright, grassy notes of summer for a savory, nutty complexity with a velvety, opulent paste resulting in our most decadent cheese of the year and a true expression of the Plateau!

Today and everyday, we celebrate the farmers who bring food to our tables. We want to shine a spotlight on our incredible farmer, Paul! He’s dedicated most his to carrying on the legacy of our family’s farm, which was lovingly started over 100 years ago by his great grandparents, Antonio and Marie Fantello. We’re grateful for the generations who came before him, including his grandma Filomena Fantello, who paved the way for his success. Paul’s hard work and commitment to our farm’s values have made all the difference. His love for animals is evident in the way he cares for our cows, treating them like family. Thank you, Dad, for your tireless efforts and passion for preserving our heritage, providing for our family and paving the way for the next generation!
