A Rich History Of Fine Wisconsin Cheese

Founded in 1934 by a Danish immigrant, Anton “Tony” Pederson, in the tiny town of Shullsburg, Wisconsin, our company quickly gained a reputation for its hand-crafted, old-style recipes and rich, creamy taste born of fresh milk from farm-raised dairy cows. In the 1940s, Shullsburg Creamery was selected to provide cheese for American soldiers in World War II, and quickly gained a following nationwide as a comforting reminder of home during a trying time. Through the decades, delicious and wholesome Shullsburg Creamery cheese has remained a taste that always feels like home. Since then, Shullsburg Creamery has grown into a diverse and innovative company offering award-winning foods, while still retaining the same authentic, farm-fresh recipes and cheesemaking techniques as the Pederson family almost a century ago. It’s a legacy, a heritage, and a sincere commitment to quality that you can taste in every batch of their delicious Wisconsin cheese. In 2020, Shullsburg Creamery was acquired by Prairie Farms Dairy, Inc, a farmer-owned dairy cooperative established in 1938 with a rich heritage of quality milk production and a network of over 700 farm families. Today, Shullsburg Creamery continues to offer the highest quality products as part of the Prairie Farms family brands.
