Minnesota Sourced: Lone Grazer Cheese

Minnesota is cooking! Thanks to our innovative entrepreneurs, our pantries are stocked with fabulous products made in this region. We don’t have to venture to Europe to find great cheese, oils, vinegar and sauces; there are wonderful foods being crafted right here. Once a week, we’ll share fresh news about products you may want to taste.

The Lone Grazer — this cheese stands alone. It’s also delicious in sandwiches, on pizza, tossed with pasta. Made with fresh milk from two small Minnesota dairy farms — Sunrise Meadows in Cokato and Stengaard near Sebeka — Lone Grazer’s cheeses reflect our local terroir, the taste of a particular place.

Lone Grazer’s processing plant is in the Food Building, not far from the Mississippi River, on NE. Marshall Street in Minneapolis. Cheese maker Rueben Nilsson mastered his craft in the cheese caves of Faribault, Minn., before joining Kieran Folliard’s local craft food destination.
