Established in 2003, Champlain Valley Creamery handcrafts certified organic cheese in Middlebury, Vermont. With a graduate degree in food science and a background in wine and hard cider making, Carleton Yoder was eager to run his own business and in Vermont, small-scale cheesemaking was a natural progression. At the start of 2010, Carleton’s wife, Moira Cook, joined the day-to-day operations makin
g Champlain Valley Creamery a true family business. The milk for our cheese comes from a single herd of crossbred Jersey and Holstein cows in nearby Bridport, Vermont. We use traditional techniques, including moving milk in 10 gallon cans and small batch pasteurization, to produce our cheese entirely by hand. Our creamery is certified organic by Vermont Organic Farmers (VOF) and we strive to make simply delicious cheese that we hope you will enjoy. Our Products:

Old Fashioned Organic Cream Cheese is made without stabilizers or preservatives from cultured fresh organic cow’s milk and cream.

Organic Champlain Triple
American Cheese Society Award Winner
Organic Champlain Triple is a beautiful soft ripened triple crème with a bloomy white rind. Produced from cultured whole milk and cream, Champlain Triple is hand ladled into traditional crottin molds and aged approximately 10 days. It has a rich, creamy interior flavor that is offset by a delicious earthy rind with hints of mushroom. Organic Quseo Fresco
Queso fresco is a traditional Mexican cheese and is a quintessential part of Mexican cuisine. The name queso fresco means “fresh cheese” in Spanish. In October 2011, we launched Organic Queso Fresco, a soft and mild part-skim cheese with fresh milk flavor and a little bit of acidity to give it some “zing.”
