North Valley Farms Product Descriptions

All cheeses are made by hand in small batches with minimal mechanical intervention. Made with fresh milk from our own free range pastured goat herd, our award winning cheeses are “one of a kind” owing to the soils and forage unique to the farm’s sixty certified organic acres in Tehama County.

North Valley Farms Cheeses are true farmstead cheeses in that they are “single source” and can be traced back to our farm, fields, and goats without exception!

The first commercial goat dairy in the U.S. to earn the Animal Welfare Approved seal, goats enjoy a long productive healthy life, free range pasture grazing and producing exceptional milk, which in turn produce distinguished cheeses of elite quality.

A low temperature vat pasteurization method is used for our fresh pasteurized cheeses. Our cheeses do not contain animal rennet.

Plain Chévre: 2009 Gold Medalist/Best of Class at the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest in Wisconsin, this cheese received a final score of 99.3 of a possible 100 to earn the top spot in tough national competition among the major U.S. goat cheese producers. This cheese has a “bright”, clean, mild taste and creamy texture.
(2.3 ounces)

Herbs de Provence Chévre: 2007 Gold Medal Winner California State Fair; 2010 American Cheese Society Winner. A state and national level award winner. A favorite in salad of the season or as a “stand alone” on your favorite bread! An herb mix of Rosemary, Thyme, Savory, Fennel with a hint of lavender this combo was the perfect compliment to our fabulous plain chévre.
(2.3 ounces)

  

Dill Chévre: The pairing of dill with our chévre was a combo that “clicked” and is loved by anyone who loves dill. The clean fresh flavor of the chévre and dill are a delightful pair! Customers report it is their favorite pairing with salmon or on breads and crackers.
(2.3 ounces)

  

  

Garlic/Chive Chévre: Another great seasoning for our fresh chévre that is savored in omelets, scrambled eggs, folded into pasta, in ravioli, or enjoyed as a spread.
(2.3 ounces)

 

 

   

Cranberry/Walnut Chévre: Our fresh chévre topped with cranberries and walnut pieces is a holiday, breakfast, and dessert favorite. Lovely on the plate and palate.
(2.3 ounces)

  

Feta: 2010 American Cheese Society Award Winner. A fresh Greek Style feta. Creamy, smooth and salty with a full bodied flavor and aged in brine.
Available April through December.
(Quarter rounds in random weights no less than 5 ounces each)

  

  

  

Sun Dried Tomato/Basil Feta: Our Award Winning Feta with a zesty twist! Beautiful on a plate with fruit or in a salad. Creamy texture with full bodied feta flavor combined with tomato/basil for an irresistible taste treat.
Available April through December.
(Quarter rounds in random weights no less than 5 ounces each)

 

 

  

Marinated Feta: Once again our Award Winning Feta paired this time with an award winning local organic olive oil from Isern and Sons in Oroville, California. In an 8-oz. jar, our feta is cubed and layered with fresh garlic, basil, peppercorns with a fresh sprig of Rosemary and a red pepper for added flavor. Jars are ribbon tied with country gingham or holiday ribbon. A unique party gift,  these are salad ready (just add a bowl of your favorite greens!) or a special treat on breads or eaten alone out of the jar!
(8-ounce jar)

  

  

Cottonwood Creek Tomme: Raw Milk aged cheese. Aged a minimum of 60 to 120 days. Traditionally made in the French Alps and Switzerland we felt this was the perfect choice for the milk produced by our pasture based dairy goats. As the curd is not “washed” during the make process and the milk is not pasteurized, the full flavors of the grasses and plants eaten by the goats are allowed to come through to create a smooth complex rich blend which is unique to this farm and place. Lightly waxed rind. Limited release. Available November through May.
(random weights around one half pound per wedge)

We are especially proud of being the first commercial goat dairy in the U.S. to earn Animal Welfare Approved Certification in 2009. Animal Welfare Approved in addition to rigorous animal health and care standards also requires the animals be pastured. More information about the program can be found at the Animal Welfare Approved website.
