Artisan Cheese

Bright Cheese & Butter was established in 1874 by local farmers with a surplus of milk each month from their livestock. Since then, cheddar has become Canada’s second-largest export and there are over 1,000 cheddar factories in Ontario alone. Bright Cheese is the oldest remaining cheddar factory in Canada, still working from its original location from 1874. Bright is well known for all-natural, naturally-aged cheese made with 100% local milk, made the old-fashioned way.

Gunn's Hill Artisan Cheese is a small artisan cheese plant located at Gunn's Hill Rd., in beautiful Oxford County, Ontario.  The cheeses produced at Gunn's Hill are unique, and you can taste the Swiss influence produced from the techniques and recipes used by Shep which he learned while making cheese in Handeck, Swiss Alps.  Today, Gunn's Hill Artisan Cheese produces some of Canada's finest award-winning cheeses. Owners Shep Ysselstein and Colleen Bator are proud of the little thriving business that is now seeing their cheeses in over 300 locations across Ontario!
