Welcome to Bechaz Dairy/Bechaz Riverdale Cheese! We are a 4th generation dairy farm that produces fresh, homemade, artisan cheese curd, brick cheeses, gelato, and Creamline milk! For our cheese curds, our only ingredients are fresh whole milk pumped right 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 also offer several brick cheeses! We have a Swedish Bondost which is a semi-soft aged farmer's cheese with fennel flavoring! We also offer a mildly aged cheese which is a hard pressed cheese with a smooth, delicious flavor! Our other brick flavors include Garlic/Dill, Italian, Peppercorn, and Poco Picante (a little spicy). 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! We also offer grass-fed beef. Ground beef is available for purchase in the freezer. Please contact us to inquire about steaks and roasts.
Have you tried our artisan gelato!?! Homemade artisan gelato is an Italian form of ice cream that is more dense, creamier, and has a bolder flavor than ice cream. Unlike ice cream, gelato is made with just whole milk (no added cream or additives) and churned at a slower speed resulting in a denser texture - providing a more healthy treat! Stop by and try some soon!!! - available at the house and farm or Clayton Shurfine, The Cheese Store on Route 3, and Country Cousins Farm in Evans Mills.
Finally, we are proud to offer Creamline milk like the "milkman" used to deliver. Creamline milk is pure milk straight from the cow that is pasteurized, but not homogenized. This allows the cream to rise to the top, so make sure you always "shake, shake, shake" before enjoying this delicious, healthy product! Available in 1/2 gallon and quart containers.
