Wisconsin Cheese, Crafted with Generations of Experience

Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery was founded by dairy farmers who believed that great cheese begins with great milk. That philosophy still guides everything we do today.

Our cooperative structure means we maintain strong relationships with the farmers who supply our milk, ensuring quality, consistency, and responsible production from farm to finished product. Every batch of cheese reflects the care and dedication of the people behind it.
