100% Grass-Fed & 100% A2A2, Raw Cheese

At Green Ridge Farm Market, we enjoy supplying our customers with 100% grass-fed dairy products. One of those dairy products is raw cheese. 

What difference does “grass-fed” make in our cheese? 

Cheese made with milk from 100% grass-fed cows has much higher levels of good omega-3 fatty acids and lower levels of omega-6 fatty acids. In fact, the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 in 100% grass-fed dairy products is 1 to 1. In regular whole milk, the ratio is 5.7 to 1. Here’s why that ratio matters:
 

  • You need some omega-6 fatty acids in your diet but consuming too much omega-6 and too little omega-3 increases your risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes.

 

  • Using 100% grass-fed organic dairy lowers your intake of omega-6 but increases your intake of omega-3 and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a heart-healthy fatty acid.


What difference does “raw” make in our cheese? 

During our cheese-making process, we never heat the milk past 90 degrees. This low temperature preserves all the natural and beneficial enzymes and probiotics.

Many so-called “raw” cheeses are actually flash pasteurized, a process that doesn’t quite fulfill the legal definition of pasteurization. So while these cheeses may not be fully pasteurized, they are not entirely raw either. 

All of our cheeses are made in a local creamery with raw, 100% A2A2, 100% grass-fed, full-fat milk. Just pure, creamy deliciousness with all its inherent benefits.
