Smooth, mild and wonderfully creamy, with a pleasant tartness reminiscent of a good cheddar, our Water Buffalo Colby is a familiar favourite made a little more special with rich Vancouver Island water buffalo milk.
Made in small batches, this cheese has a supple texture, full creamy mouthfeel and a slight cheddar flavour balanced by a subtle savoury tang. It is approachable and easy to enjoy, while still having enough character to make it distinctly different from an everyday Colby or Jack.
Our water buffalo milk naturally contains A2 beta-casein protein, rather than the A1 beta-casein commonly found in conventional cow’s milk. Emerging research suggests that dairy containing only A2 beta-casein may be more comfortable to digest for some people who experience digestive symptoms after drinking conventional milk. It is important to remember that A2 dairy still contains lactose and milk protein, so it is not a lactose-free product or an alternative for those with a milk allergy.
Water buffalo milk is naturally rich and gives this Colby its wonderfully creamy texture and satisfying depth of flavour.
Slice it for sandwiches and burgers, cube it for lunch boxes and cheese boards, melt it into grilled cheese, quesadillas or omelettes, or add it to macaroni and cheese for an extra layer of creamy richness.
It is also a wonderful family cheese — mild enough for younger palates while offering the creamy texture and gentle tang that cheese lovers appreciate.
Made with water buffalo milk from Vancouver Island farms, our Water Buffalo Colby brings together local milk, small-batch craftsmanship and an exceptionally smooth eating experience.
