At Sylvan Star Cheese, cheesemaking is more than a business - it's a family tradition that spans SIX generations. Rooted in Dutch cheesemaking heritage and proudly based in Red Deer County, we combine time-honoured techniques with locally sourced ingredients to create award-winning cheeses that have become favourites across Canada.

From our signature Goudas and bold Grizzly cheeses to creamy Havartis and specialty varieties, every wheel is crafted with care, patience, and a passion for quality. Our team believes that great cheese starts on the farm, with attention to every detail from milk to finished product.

Whether you're building the perfect charcuterie board, looking for a new family favourite, or simply appreciate handcrafted food made with pride, our Sylvan Star Cheese offers a true farm-to-table experience that reflects the best of Alberta! 🧀❤️

Cheesemaking is truly an art that requires skilled hands and careful attention at every stage. From the moment the milk begins to transform into curds to the final shaping and molding of each wheel, our cheesemakers are actively involved in the process.

This hands-on approach allows them to monitor texture, consistency, and quality every step of the way. It's a tradition built on experience, patience, and a deep understanding of how great cheese develops over time.

Every wheel tells a story of it's patient craftsmanship. 🧀

Did you know that a salt bath is one of the most important steps in making great cheese?

After the cheese is formed, it takes a soak in a carefully prepared brine solution. This simple step has a big impact on the final product!

🧀 Enhances and develops flavor
🧀 Helps regulate moisture for the perfect texture
🧀 Acts as a natural preservative
🧀 Controls fermentation during aging
🧀 Ensures even distribution of salt throughout the cheese

It's just one of the many ways that patience, skill, and tradition come together to make every wheel pretty special!

Bold, rich, and full of character, Klondike Gruyère is one of those cheeses that stands out from the very first bite.

Handcrafted right here in Alberta, this beautifully aged cheese has a firm texture with deep nutty flavour, a smooth savoury finish, and just the right balance of richness that makes it incredibly versatile. Perfect for melting into grilled cheese, layering into sandwiches, adding to pasta dishes, or building the ultimate charcuterie board, Klondike Gruyère brings something special to every table!

It’s strong enough to stand on its own, but smooth enough to keep you reaching for another slice.

If you love bold cheese with plenty of depth, Klondike Gruyère might just become your next favourite. 🧀💛
