The historic sandstone caves of Faribault Dairy are home to three premium blue-veined cheeses: Amablu® Blue, Gorgonzola and St. Pete’s Select.

All three are made from raw cow’s milk in traditional open vats, hand salted, and cave-aged in hand-dug sandstone caves. The cheeses vary in aging (from 75 to 100+ days), physical attributes, and flavor. Faribault Dairy’s cheese makers - including owner Jeff Jirik (pictured) - vary the types of starter cultures, processing conditions, and ageing temperatures to attain the desired profile.

ach natural artisanal cheese wheel is produced by hand from whole milk, not machine made, under standardized conditions.
