Beloved Leelanau Cheese Company Finds Success with Online Sales

SUTTONS BAY, MI – We all know how lovely wine-tasting adventures can be in Northern Michigan. But if we can make a tasty suggestion: Don’t forget to add in the cheese-nibbling. Up North is home to not only a handful of great cheese shops, but also a couple wonderful cheese-making businesses.

One of the most beloved is Leelanau Cheese near Suttons Bay. It is known for its Alpine-style Raclette, its creamy fromage blanc, and for the adorable European cheese cave tucked into a hillside right outside the creamery shop. That’s where the real cheese magic happens, master cheesemaker Josh Hall told us recently. It’s where temperature and humidity are controlled at levels that allow thousands of beautiful rounds of cheese to age nicely for a few months as they sit on wooden-slab shelves and have their rinds washed on a tight schedule.
