Laura Chenel’s Chevre is unique in its use of local milk in the production of all its Laura Chenel Brand cheeses. We work in close partnership with 14 producers (12 from California – including Laura Chenel’s goats – and 2 from Nevada). The relationship with our producers is critical to the quality of our cheese. We have long term contracts with our producers that signify our trust and close cooperation with them to always achieve the best quality.

Goats are sensitive to climate, feed and environment. The location of our producers ensures there are no severe weather spikes. This creates for us a reliable supply of milk, very balanced in protein and fat. This balance expresses itself in the incredible freshness, flavor and texture of Laura Chenel’s Chevre. We keep the best of nature and bring the most consistent and dependable product to the consumer.

Milk is collected from our producers seven days a week. With the early morning fog still lingering in Carneros, milk is received and quality parameters are checked to ensure that only the best quality goat milk will be used.
