The Olm family has owned and operated Pine River Dairy, Inc., for over 80 years, although the Olm cheesemaking heritage began in 1877 with the sons of Civil War veteran, August Olm. His great grandson, Roland, continued the traditional cheesemaking when he purchased Pine River Dairy in 1935. Today, the Olm family--now in its sixth generation of dairy food producers--continues to operate the business, selling Butter and Butter blends at the wholesale level. Our company offers custom packaging, labeling or blending of any of our products. Pine River Dairy boasts having over 250 varieties of cheese available in the retail store located in the manufacturing facility.

Did you know there is a scientific term for "yummy?" It's called umami. More than any of the other tastes, more than salty or sweet or sour or bitter, it is what makes you crave certain foods. It is savory, earthy, and exquisite, lingering on the tongue and in the mouth and awakening the senses without overpowering them. This is the flavor of LaBelle™ cheese. With more than 135 years of dairy farming heritage in southeastern Wisconsin, the Koepke family introduces LaBelle, their farmhouse cheese crafted only with the premium milk from their Holstein dairy cows. This “Wisconsin Original” is made in small batches under the careful supervision of a Master Cheesemaker whose family-owned cheese plant has been in operation for more than 125 years. Give it a try... it's umami!
