Found this place by pure coincidence! Driving down the 11a highway and saw a sign Cheese. They had us at Cheese Makers! Who are we not to stop in and have a look and see what they do and off for products. The grounds upon entering are very well manicured as we drive down the driveway we come to a parking lot with plenty of parking. The building is huge on the right side of the parking lot. We walked in was greeted by a lovely lady behind the counter. We were very surprised by the difference cheeses and frozen food and European items. The large display of different Gouda we have never seen and we love Gouda. We bought bacon Gouda, spicy Gouda, Havarti Mediterranean. From the freezer section we bought bitterballen a very Dutch treat, as well as some mini stoop waffles. The cheese was delicious!! Inside is also a seating area with tables and chairs which we thought was a restaurant at first, it's not we were told. People like to sit and drink coffee. At the time we were the only ones in the store and that was a Monday, they are more busy on the weekends with vacationers coming through to go to the lake. They do offer tours of the cheese making facility just forgot to ask about details. -very clean and well taken care of of store -plenty of parking. Well worth the stop in if passing by!! read more

Best cheese ever. John and his staff run a top notch operation with all your flavourful favourite Gouda cheeses. I recommend truffle, cave aged Gouda and the old grizzly. These complex flavoured treats are sure to guide you through the winter season and fill your charcuterie board. Thank you John for being a fantastic local supplier and keeping rich family food production alive. read more
