Welcome to Bechaz Dairy/Bechaz Riverdale Cheese! We are a 4th generation dairy farm that produces fresh, homemade, artisan cheese curd from our 70 holstein/jersey milking herd. Our only ingredients are fresh whole milk pumped right from the herd into the cheese vat, natural cultures and a little bit of salt. We also offer flavored curds such as Garlic/Chive, Ay Chihuahua Chipotle, Mustard Dill, Onion Pepper and various flavors of the month! We are now making several brick cheeses! We have a Swedish Bondost which is a semi-soft aged farmer's cheese with fennel flavoring! One of our unique additions is our "wine cheese"! We are making a brick cheese which is aged in a wine brine. We currently have cheeses made with wines from Coyote Moon Winery and TI Winery. We also offer a mildly aged cheese which is a hard pressed cheese with a smooth, delicious flavor! In addition to our Swedish Bondost (a semi-soft aged farmer's cheese with fennel flavoring!), we make a Garlic/Dill brick cheese, an Italian brick, a Peppercorn brick and a Poco Picante (a little spicy) brick. We are proud to offer our cheese fresh from the 1000 Islands in Clayton, NY, where you can see our herd grazing in the pastures overlooking the majestic St. Lawrence River! Our milking herd is grass fed! We do NOT use any artificial growth hormones with our dairy herd! We also offer grass-fed beef. Ground beef is available for purchase in the freezer. Please contact us to inquire about steaks and roasts.
Our latest addition to our creamery is our artisan gelato!!! We are proud to offer homemade artisan gelato using our very own whole milk! Stop by and try some soon!!! - available at the house and farm or Clayton Shurfine!
