Klein River Cheese is a celebration of cheese, picnics and family. We exist to unleash the inner artisan in every one of us. We are not creating cheese and picnic baskets but inspiring chefs and romantics, nature lovers and healthy, family-centered ambassadors. The cheese is merely a vehicle to join the artisan movement.
From the land. About the land. Of the land. The supreme flavour, texture and aroma of a farmstead cheese links us to decades of history and country living. It connects us to the culture of the farmstead and to the circle of microbes, plants, animals, and people living in balance with one another and the environment.
Klein River Cheese crafts 4 styles and 11 types of exceptional and award-winning South African cheese. We have been producing cheese for over 25 years with only one cheese-maker, Jacko van Beulen. He has been with us since day one and has extensive knowledge and experience in cheese craft.
These days, people want fast, convenient and easy food. Sustainability, nurturing and health comes from slow, deliberate and the purposeful. It comes from the small things – the attention to detail. The land that cows graze, the quality of milk, the nurturing and art of the cheese-makers hand, the shuffle of the cheese brush and precision of the cheese cutter. Klein River Cheese crafts cheese. Real cheese slowly and purposefully.
It is the Stanford grass that the cows eat which gives our cheese its delicious taste and sense of place. Jersey cows’ milk has a naturally high fat content, and this contributes to the flavour and texture of the cheese. We will only ever use pasture-fed and pasteurised cow’s milk. The milk is sourced from 3 dedicated farmers within 20 km of the Farmstead and is free from hormones and antibiotics.
As part of our age-old artisanal methods, each cheese is cut by hand by our dedicated cheese cutter using a sharp 1 meter long cheese knife. Thereafter, it is vacuum-packed to ensure that the cheese stays as fresh as if it has just been plucked from our cheese factory.
