This family-owned company was founded in 1966 by Edwin Gossner, a cheesemaker from Switzerland who came to Cache Valley to start a cheese business because he felt the conditions here were ideal, similar to those in Switzerland. The company specializes in several varieties of cheese, plus shelf-stable milk-a form of milk that does not require refrigeration and which was pioneered here at Utah State University.
