Who We Are

At Original Herkimer Cheese® we’ve been making artisan cheeses since 1949. We like to say that Original Herkimer Cheese® is “Where Excellence Is a Tradition”, and to us that’s personal. We are a 3rd generation family owned and operated business. We believe in making the highest quality of specialty cheese products, handcrafting them in the same meticulous way for over 65 years. We always start with cheddar cheese made only in New York State, add premium ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible. We carefully craft our dips and spreads in small batches. Our premium cheese balls and logs are made and wrapped by hand. All of our aged New York State cheddar is hand-cut and dipped in black wax.

Our products are designed to make your life easier and tastier. Whether you are arranging a beautiful cheese tray for entertaining, sending a unique gift, or making impressively easy meals for your family and friends, Original Herkimer Cheese® is the answer.

Experience for yourself the tasteful tradition of Original Herkimer Cheese®.
