Handmade in the traditional way with milk from cows that spend their days feeding on flavorful grasses, hay and grain from their farm.
MaMa Jean’s carries a variety of cheddars (Espresso, Applewood Smoked, Black Pepper and Aged), cheese curds (jalapeno, Smoked Applewood and Creamy Ranch) and their signature spreadable german quark.
