FARMSTEAD CHEESE JISA FAMILY - BRAINARD, NE put farmer’s picture over this box
Making cheese the traditional way is an art. The milk is trucked less than a mile from the dairy to the plant. It is then pasteurized and cooled before enzymes & culture are added. It takes about 100 pounds of milk to make 10 pounds of cheese. Of course, we have our own special secrets in this process. We can’t tell you what these secrets are - but you can taste the difference. This is our ART!
