Our Cheese

Coonridge Goat Cheese has been made using the milk from our free-range goats since 1981. This unique gourmet cheese has been certified organic since 1998.

Our soft spreading cheese comes in a 7.5 oz. glass jar and is covered with certified organic sunflower seed oil, certified organic extra virgin olive oil and certified organic herbs. Covering our cheese with oil and herbs seals it from the air and allows the flavors to mingle. This is a traditional Mediterranean way of preserving cheese, which also permits us to ship it without refrigeration. After you receive our cheese, you can store it in the refrigerator for months and months, even up to a year! If you were going to keep it that long you would be better off to freeze it. You can freeze and thaw, freeze and thaw without breaking the jar or changing the texture. The taste will stay the closest to what you enjoyed on arrival). Serve at room temperature for full flavor!

Everything used at Coonridge is Certified Organic (Hormone Free, Antibiotic Free, Additive Free, Pesticide Free and GMO Free). Our goats eat only organic and wild food. The herb (and garlic) blends for our cheeses are certified organic creations developed and perfected right here at Coonridge. We use certified organic high oleic sunflower seed oil (which is a mono saturated oil) and certified organic extra virgin olive oil.

We meet or exceed the requirements of the Federal USDA rules and are certified organic by the New Mexico Organic Commodities Commission where we are double certified as goat producer and cheese processor. By using all organic ingredients we feel we have the most beneficial and delicious product possible while also helping our environment.
