History

Established in 2011.

Originally from Lancaster County, Jake Stoltzfus and his family moved to Upstate NewYork in 1990. While running a small dairy farm in Deansboro, NY, Jake began to wonder if there wasn’t more to be done with the high quality milk they were shipping.

Jake — never one to do things the easy way — fell in love with the idea of traditional style, artisan Gouda. Reaching out for help directly from Holland, Jake and Sylvia began a journey to produce authentic Dutch-​style Gouda. As Jake continued to refine their process, Sylvia began distributing through local farmers markets. Soon after, they launched their web-​store and began distributing their Gouda to local retailers.

With a great local product that begins with dedication to quality milk — sourced from Jake’s own farm — as well as a rare cheese coating and treatment process, Jake’s Gouda Cheese has continued to grow. In the near future, Jake hopes to offer Smoked, as well as Aged (over 1 year) Gouda Cheeses.
