Ohio Cheese Guild

Happy world cheese day! We appreciate all of our members hard work and their amazing cheeses. 🧀How are you celebrating today?

This week, we are excited to feature Blue Jacket Dairy!

Located in Bellefontaine, Ohio, Blue Jacket Dairy was started in 2008 by founders Jim and Angel King. They began with the goal of making locally sourced, great tasting cheese with hand-made methods. Blue Jacket handcrafts a variety of aged cheese, a halloumi style cheese called Gretna Grillin, goat chevre, cheese curds and more.

When asked about the best part of cheesemaking, the Kings said, “Interacting with our customers is meaningful to us, and we are still passionate about making delicious cheese after 18 years.”

You can find their cheese online at https://www.bluejacketdairy.com/category/all-products, specialty stores in central Ohio, various restaurants in Dayton and Columbus, and at their store in Bellefontaine. We appreciate having them as members! 🧀
