Open Forum With Master Cheesemaker Sid CookJoin the ChefTalk.com Community for a week long discussion with Master Cheesmaker Sid Cook of Carr Valley Cheese – La Valle, WI. This forum is now closed.
Are you farmstead or do you purchase milk? If you purchase milk do you have specs for the farmers, could you briefly discribe those?
Do you use mainly cow or do you have goat/sheep's milk also?
We buy our cow' milk from local family dairy farms and pick the milk up with our own trucks every day. Some of the farms have shipped to Carr Valley cheese for 4 generations. Most of the milk come from pasture fed animals. The sheep milk comes from the North West part of the state and the Goat milk is purchased from the Wisconsin Quality Goat Milk Coop.
