Discover an American Original so magical that even Santa may consider trading his milk and cookies for a cheese plate featuring chiseled slices of fruity, nutty and deliciously complex
Gran Canaria®. It’s inspired by a traditional Greek farmstead cheese but named for one of Spain’s Canary Islands.
Carr Valley Cheese owner and
Master Cheesemaker Sid Cook is certified in Gran Canaria® and combines cow, goat and sheep milk from local family farms to create decadent wheels that are olive oil-cured (an homage to traditional Canarian cheesemaking techniques) and aged for at least two years.
