Master Cheesemakers At Carr Valley Cheese Co., Inc.
Sid Cook
Sid is the owner of Carr Valley Cheese, a company founded in 1883 that continues to innovate in the cheesemaking world. He’s a fourth-generation Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker®, specializing in cheddar, fontina, gran, canaria and mobay. He’s also known for his one-of-a-kind, award-winning American Originals.
Bob Koenig
Bob doesn’t come from a cheesemaking family, but childhood visits to Carr Valley Cheese sparked his interest in the industry. After landing a job at Carr Valley, Bob became a licensed cheesemaker, which led him to earn his Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker® certification for fontina and gouda. He’s committed to continuous improvement throughout the cheesemaking process––and that includes his own craft.
