Cheese

It’s simple. We love cheese. We’re obsessed with it.

Glanbia Nutritionals brings innovative cheese solutions to markets worldwide. We consistently deliver high-quality cheese with a focus on flavor, texture, and functionality.

The Cheese Innovation Center in Twin Falls, Idaho gives our customers access to a network of resources and the center’s pilot-production facility streamlines the process of moving new cheeses from concept to full-scale production. 

Once perfected the cheese is produced at one of our production facilities in Idaho, New Mexico, or Michigan. Each plant has unique capabilities that make them suited for certain cheese types, formats, and applications.

We have many cheese facilities. View all our Cheese Locations here.

Blended

Our blended cheeses are two or more cheese types blended into a single block. A blended cheese includes both marbled-style (a 50/50 blend created by two vats of cheese made with the same milk composition,  primary culture, and make time but, different adjunct cultures and colors, and blending them before being formed into one block) and mash-up style cheeses (a cheese blend made up of a primary base cheese made in a vat with a secondary cheese, not to exceed 10% of the total blend, added on the finishing table and blended together prior to being formed into one block).  

Examples of our commercialized Blended varieties include:

  • Colby Jack 
  • Cheddar Mozzarella
