Rooted in Amish Dairy Tradition
Founded in 2001 by a cooperative of Amish dairy farmers in Howard, Pennsylvania, Goot Essa was born from a simple belief: great cheese starts with great milk, and great milk comes from cows that are cared for.
Every block, wheel, and wedge we craft uses all-natural ingredients — no artificial preservatives, no shortcuts. Just time-honored techniques and the richest Pennsylvania dairy you've ever tasted.
