Natural Grocers®, the prominent family-run grocery chain focused on organic and natural products, has recently broadened its house brand cheese selection, introducing five new organic varieties that promise to delight cheese lovers everywhere. With these fresh offerings, Natural Grocers aims to make premium quality accessible to all, reflecting its core value of affordability without compromising on taste or quality.
The company's latest cheese line features a range of flavors, including three unique Organic Cheese Blocks: Havarti, Mild Cheddar, and Medium Cheddar, along with Organic Medium Cheddar Cheese Slices and Organic Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shreds. Each item is crafted with real California milk and adheres to Natural Grocers' rigorous pasture-based dairy standards, ensuring customers get both delicious taste and ethical sourcing with every bite.
What sets these cheeses apart is not just their flavor but their commitment to quality and sustainability. Certified organic and non-GMO, these products are made using organic-approved microbial coagulate instead of traditional animal rennet, aligning with the brand's ethical stance on animal welfare. "Our house brand is more than just a label—it's a reflection of our family's values," expressed Raquel Isely, the vice president of marketing at Natural Grocers. "We are thrilled to offer our customers cheeses that are not only tasty and organic but also support small family farms and sustainable practices."
Natural Grocers is dedicated to maintaining its sustainable practices across every aspect of its operations. The longtime cheese production partner of the company prioritizes environmentally-friendly processes—ranging from nurturing livestock with humane care to ensuring that all products are produced within a 100-mile radius of their facilities, effectively minimizing their carbon footprint while maintaining peak freshness. Impressively, 87% of the water used in cheesemaking is filtered and reused, while the packaging is designed to use 20% less plastic, lessening their environmental impact.

Anticipate even more premium products at low prices, including Organic Wellness Shots and Organic Plant-Based Butter Spread, coming soon to shelves.
Aiming to promote transparency and educate consumers, Natural Grocers has also released a short film titled "Meet Your Farmer From the Soil Up," which highlights the small family farms that contribute their milk for the house brand cheese. The film emphasizes the company’s commitment to knowing the source of its ingredients and supporting local agriculture.
With every bite of these new cheeses, customers aren’t just enjoying a delicious addition to their meals—they are also supporting a brand that prioritizes quality, sustainability, and community values.
