Lake Erie Creamery Marks A Decade Of Ohio-Made Artisan Cheese
July 6, 2016 | 1 min to read
Tucked away in a corner of an office building in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood, a small, 900-square-foot operation is entering its 10th year of creating many of Cleveland's finest cheeses.
In 2006, the husband and wife team of Gerald Onken and Mariann Janosko launched Lake Erie Creamery (216-961-9222, facebook.com/LakeErieCreamery), Ohio's first artisan creamery, in the heart of the city. Brian Moran, who took over operations in 2013, says they don't recognize just how important their work truly was.
Ohio wasn't always filled with small-batch goat cheesemakers like it is today, and Moran largely credits Onken and Janosko for paving the way. "They were filling a niche that no one really realized needed to be filled," he says.
