Third prize winner at the 2018 British Empire Cheese Competition, and prize winner at both the 2016 (1st Prize) and 2017 (2nd Prize) Royal Winter Fair in the Variety Cheese – Surface Ripened category; Homecoming is a semi-soft, Tilsit style alpine cheese, produced in St. Mary’s Ontario.

The unpasteurized cow’s milk used in its production contains 100% of its original composition when used for the cheese making process. In the cheese cellar, Homecoming develops its typical orange surface that supports the ripening of the cheese from the outside. This eminently desirable cheese features a pale yellow interior that has a creamy velvet-like texture and mild, irresistible, nut and butter flavours. Homecoming is a typical cheese from the region in Switzerland where the cheese-maker grew up, hence the name. No other ripened cheese we know of highlights the flavour of quality Ontario milk, better than this natural and delicious cheese.

Because of its incredible melting ability, Homecoming is excellent for raclette, grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, or lasagna, and pairs nicely with a cold lager.
