Natural & Kosher Brands Of Cheese







Kosher practices are used by many different cheese brands.


Cheese is a staple in cuisines around the world. With hundreds of varieties, a dish can be easily customized to fit the needs of any family. While some may consider flavor a deciding factor, others have requirements, such as all-natural ingredients and the use of kosher factories for their culinary cheese needs.


Tillamook Kosher Cheddar


Tillamook produces a limited amount of kosher cheddar cheese each year. Tillamook follows the guidelines of kosher requirements, using vegetable-based rennet under the oversight of a rabbi. Like their other cheddar, Tillamook Kosher Cheddar is aged for six months and is stamped with the "K" for verification that the cheese is kosher.


Canadian Brie








Brie is one of the most popular cheeses in the world today and Canadian Brie has been a favorite since the 19th Century. A rival to European Brie, Canadian Brie is rich, creamy and is a certified kosher food so it can easily be enjoyed on dinner tables with kosher requirements.


Canadian Camembert


Made in Quebec by French emigrants, Canadian Camembert is certified kosher. Similar to brie, camembert is made in smaller wheels with stronger flavor. This cheese can be creamy at room temperature, or firm when refrigerated. Camembert has a smooth texture that will become runny when overripe.
