Generations of Artisanal Cheese Making
Mt. Eitan Creamery in Sonoma County, California
was specifically designed as an atelier, an artist's studio, to create cheese as a form of art.
The creamery honors the knowledge and years of experience of the pioneering Seltzer family goat farm and creamery in the Judean Mountains.
Discovering the characteristics of seasonally changing milk and pairing optimal artisanal cheese making techniques,
allows us to create a unique and multi-layered taste experience.
