Montchevre Releases First Line Of Non-GMO Goat Cheese

LOS ANGELES, CA – Montchevre, the leading goat cheese manufacturer in the United States, is paving the way for cheesemakers by producing non-GMO 4 oz. Fresh Goat Cheese Logs. The only non-GMO goat cheese certified by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is now available nationwide; an enormous achievement and milestone for the company, which prides itself on the highest standards of artisan cheese-making.

True pioneers, family owned and operated Montchevre has been producing goat cheese for more than 25 years, and has grown to be the United States’ market leader. Currently sourcing milk from 350+ independent family farms, Montchevre’s product line consists of 50+ goat cheese varieties. Now, Montchevre’s best-selling item, the 4 oz. Fresh Goat Cheese Log, is NSF Non-GMO True North Certified in all 13 flavors.

Remaining true to its establishing principles, co-founder Arnaud Solandt first investigated converting to non-GMO three years ago, excited by the prospect and determined to introduce the methods to Montchevre.

“The practice of producing non-GMO goat cheese fits our commitment to making high quality product by using high quality ingredients,” states Solandt. “We believe that using traditional farming methods, preserving the integrity of the seeds, and reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides is not only important to our environment, but our customers, farmers and goats as well.”

A large group of independent family operated farms, enthusiastic to embrace non-GMO farming, worked alongside Montchevre and NSF to achieve this non-GMO certification. Throughout this process, Montchevre opened a lab in Kalona, Iowa, to analyze crops, hay and feed for its goat milk producers. The milk produced from these farms is solely used to make Montchevre’s non-GMO 4 oz. Fresh Goat Cheese Logs.

Thrilled by the certification and already looking to the future, Montchevre plans to transition additional farms to non-GMO, eventually becoming a fully non-GMO goat cheese company. Launching non-GMO 4 oz. Fresh Goat Cheese Logs in 2016 firmly places Montchevre as leaders in the non-GMO movement, proving commitment to their core value of producing outstanding goat cheese. There’s no stopping Montchevre!
