Courtenay Cheddar

A True Taste of Vancouver Island

Crafted in the city of Courtenay, BC, our Courtenay Cheddar reflects the authentic character of Vancouver Island and the exceptional quality of 100% Canadian milk sourced from local Vancouver Island dairy farms.

Shaped by the Island’s unique coastal terroir—salt-kissed air, mild climate, and rich pastureland—this cheddar begins with milk that is naturally full-flavoured and clean. Our long-standing relationships with Island dairy farmers ensure consistency, freshness, and the high standards our cheeses are known for.

Aged with care, Courtenay Cheddar develops a balanced depth of flavour: savoury, slightly sharp, and wonderfully smooth. Its firm yet creamy texture makes it a versatile favourite for everyday cooking and elevated pairings alike.

For more than 25 years, Natural Pastures Cheese Company has been family-owned and operated right here in Courtenay. This cheddar embodies our commitment to artisanal craftsmanship, local ingredients, and the distinctive taste of our Island home.

Perfect for:
Snacking, grilled cheese, burgers, charcuterie, mac and cheese, cooking, and pairing with crisp white wines, craft beers, or Vancouver Island ciders.

Proudly made in Courtenay. Proudly Vancouver Island. Proudly Canadian
