About

Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Co

The Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Company is an award-winning dairy producing 28 different, seasonal, handmade goat, sheep and cow milk cheeses, using milk from County and Quinte area farms. Fifth Town’s facility is North America’s only Platinum LEED certified dairy and home to the only subterranean aging caves in Ontario. Tutored wine and cheese tasting seminars are offered in summer under our unique (Re)Source Pavilion, which was built using only salvaged materials. Visit our dairy and taste locally produced cheese at our retail store. Visit www.fifthtown.ca for tasting schedules, retail store hours, product listings, and information about the dairy.

Artisan Cheese Blog

Artisan cheese is made by hand, in a small dairy, using locally sourced milk. The artisan cheese market in Ontario is growing by leaps and bounds and we get e-mails and phone calls everyday from people who want to know what it’s all about. So, we started this blog for you guys; the cheese nerds, cheese curious, and the average good-food lover. Check back with us for cheese serving and cooking tips, tasting notes, recipes, and more. Delicious handmade cheese is exciting and we’re proud to make it here at Fifth Town.
