Glengarry Fine Cheese
Glengarry Fine Cheese is situated on the farm of Margaret Peters-Morris’ family ancestral lands in the corner of South Glengarry Township on the shores of the St. Lawrence River.
The land which is farmed by the Peters family is providing the quality hay, grass and grains which the Holstein herd is fed each year. The dairy is across the road from the cheese factory, the milk that goes in their quality artisan cheese begins at the family farm.
Margaret began making cheese from the farm milk back in the early 1990’s. She is of Dutch heritage therefore, gouda was always the number one choice of cheese to be made. The overall love of cheese in her family propelled Margaret’s interest to add more varieties to the repertoire with trips abroad to learn more about farmstead Cheesemaking and eventually developing recipes that are the basis of the varieties produced in the plant today. To have an artisan plant was Margaret’s dream and is now her life’s vocation, to be on a farm making cheese in the county where she grew up.
At Glengarry Fine Cheese, they combine their love of Cheesemaking to every batch and we carefully age the cheese in their European designed aging rooms that provide the ambiance that refine their cheeses as they develop their mouth-watering finish in their own time. We make Lankaaster gouda style cheese, Creamy Celtic Blue and delicate bloomy Figaro from their cow’s milk, and recently began making variety goat’s milk cheese which are also evolving into exceptional cheese.
