Story

Those familiar with Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery realized its significance long before former Wisconsin Governor Anthony S. Earl proclaimed it as the "Cheese Curd Capital of Wisconsin" in 1984.

Our over 450 proud dairy farm family owners live near Ellsworth, throughout Wisconsin, and into Minnesota. We formed our cooperative to manufacture and sell butter. In 1966, we began our first expansion by making cheese. Two years later, we began our second expansion by selling packaged curds.

Today 100% All Natural Premium Cheddar Cheese Curds are our specialty product – and being sold nationwide. They can be purchased fresh at our on-location store, found in grocery stores or purchased online and shipped direct to you.

Breaded cheese curds also sold on-site, in grocery stores and in restaurants. You’ve probably enjoyed our curds at A&W® Restaurants, Green Mill and others, as well as at Miller Park, Target Field, Soldier Field and other professional sports venues, carnivals, festivals and fairs.

Today, our 400+ cooperative patrons provide 1,700,000 pounds of milk per day to the creamery. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we manufacture 46 million pounds of cheese annually. In addition, 30 million pounds of whey powder are manufactured and distributed each year.

In June 2011, the Comstock Creamery (formerly Blaser’s USA), in Comstock, WI, joined the Ellsworth Cooperative family. Best known for Havarti and Muenster cheeses, also watch for their Artisan & Specialty Brands - Blaser’s, Antonella, and Kammerude Gouda. Together we now offer over 80 assorted cheeses.

We invite you to visit our retail stores where in addition to our vast selection of fresh cheese curds and specialty cheese we also offer meats, crackers, souvenirs, unique kitchenware and gift items.
