CALIFORNIA ARTISAN CHEESE GUILD

Celebrating the quality and diversity of artisan cheese produced in California through partnerships, outreach & education.

WELCOME TO THE CALIFORNIA ARTISAN CHEESE GUILD

As we celebrate more than a decade of service to California’s artisan cheese community, our Guild has blossomed into the foremost cheese organization in the State. Our members represent the breadth of California from northern coastal counties to the southern border, from the Central Coast to the San Joaquin Valley.

We form a collaborative community of makers, mongers, distributors, food writers, and food safety experts. Our cheeses are sold across the State and beyond. We host and participate in dozens of events and educational forums each year.
