In Wisconsin, we take our cheese very seriously. Wisconsin is home to the only Master Cheesemaker certification program outside of Europe. The certification program is administered by the Center for Dairy Research.

Award-winning taste from the hands of the Masters

Craftsmanship at its finest.

With over 90 years of cheesemaking experience between them, the Certified Wisconsin Master Cheesemakers of Black Creek are at the heart of our award-winning taste. Our cheesemakers have met the rigorous standards for cheesemaking experience and expertise needed to gain Master Cheesemaking status. Under their watchful eyes, only the finest naturally aged cheeses are hand selected to wear the Black Creek label.
