About Salt Spring Island Cheese Company

Nothing is more patronizing, or - and please excuse the pun - 'cheesy' than a company's finely crafted corporate statement of philosophy; describing in great detail how that company is redefining the standards of earthly humanity.

So forgive us for offering a different approach. We simply believe that a better kind of food business is one that reflects both good community and good food, as the two frequently go together; food is reflective of the community and people by which it is made.

Salt Spring Island Cheese Company specializes in handmade goat and sheep cheeses. We started making cheese in 1994 and started selling it in 1996. Principally, we're known for our chèvres, although we also make several other types of goat cheeses (feta cheeses, surface ripened cheeses, and even a hard cheese).

We make our cheese at our dairy farm on Salt Spring Island, off Canada's west coast; and while you can buy our cheese as far east as Toronto, we encourage you to come to the island, wander the farm and taste the cheese fresh for yourself.
