Some of my favorites shown above, Cottage Gold, Niagara Gold, Comfort Cream, Guernsey Girl and I was lucky enough to score some Guernsey curds. Some of Upper Canada Cheese Companys' unique cheeses are produced from the milk of a rare local Niagara herd of 100
Guernsey Cows. There are only a half dozen Guernsey herds in Canada.

What gives cheese made from Guernsey Cows its rich golden colour is due to an exceptionally high content of beta carotene. The milk also has a high butterfat and protein content.
Upper Canada Cheese Company also seeks out and stocks exceptional artisanal cheeses produced by others. (Below photo) At the time I visited in February, I purchased some incredible 9-year old aged cheddar from Quebec.
