Raw milk cheese starts with great milk.

And great milk starts with cows that are pastured and free to roam. Raw milk cheese is creamy, flavorful, and is a natural source of probiotics. Lucky for you, all of the cheeses here at 5 Spoke Creamery meet the criteria.

Today is National Cheese Lover’s Day—yes we keep track!

We’re celebrating by honoring one of the biggest cheese lovers out there: our very own 5 Spoke Creamery owner and cheesemaker, Alan Glustoff.

Originally a food scientist specializing in dairy cultures, Alan spent a summer working for Unilever in Holland, where he grew his passion for raw milk cheeses. Fast forward to today, Alan brings the same philosophies and techniques to cheesemaking: small batches, European-style aging, and big flavors.

All eyes on Forager, our go-to for mac and cheese nights, cheeseburgers, and tuna melts.

Creamy, tangy, and packed with garlic and chives, Forager is great addition to home-cooked meals, or perfect eaten on its own.

Did you know you can order our cheeses directly on our website? Head to the link in bio to grab some.

This holiday season, elevate your celebrations with Tumbleweed, our one-of-a-kind raw milk cheese found across menus in top restaurants and leading specialty stores. And guess what? For a limited time, order Tumbleweed for $17.50 per pound (plus shipping).

Crafted on our farm in the Hudson Valley, Tumbleweed is a mold-ripened mix between Cheddar and French Cantal and is aged for at least a year in our below-ground caves. Whether you’re curating a festive cheese plate or planning to make cheesy popovers or fondue, Tumbleweed adds a bit of richness with nutty and fruity notes to every holiday spread.

This special pricing is valid for orders placed by December 26th. Visit our link in bio to order.

At 5 Spoke Creamery, we approach life as a journey and embrace the belief that every turn in the road offers new and exciting adventures. We call this the “Art of Possibilities”.

Believing in possibilities was key to allowing us to follow Alan’s passion to make superior tasting, small batch raw milk cheeses, and inspire us to restore a 100 year old dairy farm and build a cheese making operation from the ground up.

We believe that balance is the key to a healthy lifestyle; that it is possible to enjoy fine, artisanal cheeses if it’s balanced with physical activity, like bike riding. Enjoy the ride!

5 Spoke Creamery’s Welsh Cheddar is our youngest cheese, aged approximately 3 months, and a fan favorite! An ultra creamy washed-curd cheese with a distinctive flavor somewhere between a Caerphilly and a young Cantal, welsh cheddar is sweet and nuanced.

We often describe the experience of unwrapping a block of Welsh Cheddar as reminiscent of prepping to bake; the rush of its buttery aroma is bold and inviting.

Welsh Cheddar is also an amazing melting cheese, gracing burgers at some of the finest gastro pubs and farm-to-table restaurants in New York and beyond.

Thanks for the share! Looks delicious!

Great cheese starts with great milk and the best milk is the raw milk from cows that are pastured and free to roam, picking and choosing from a variety of grasses, herbs, flowers and weeds. The raw milk of grass-fed cows has a depth of flavor, or terroir, which cannot be duplicated.

And, raw milk cheeses are creamier than those made from pasteurized milk and provide the health benefits inherent to raw milk.
