What are the health benefits of eating organic cheese?

For individuals and families seeking high nutritional value and reduced risk of exposure to the toxins associated with factory farming practices, organic cheese is a healthy option.

  • The organic milk we use to make our Organic Valley Raw Cheeses comes from pasture-raised cows and is an excellent source of easily absorbed calcium, as well a good source of protein, phosphorus, and riboflavin.
  • Consuming Organic Valley dairy products minimizes your risk of exposure to antibiotics, toxic pesticides, synthetic hormones, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
What kinds of raw cheese does Organic Valley produce?

Organic Valley crafts five varieties of semi-hard and semi-soft cheese from organic, non-homogenized, non-pasteurized milk. The organic milk used to craft our Grassmilk® cheeses comes from 100% grass-fed cows that receive only fresh pasture and dried forages, like hay, as well as minerals and vitamins as needed, but do not receive grain rations.
