Established in 1961, Renard’s Cheese is a family-owned and operated cheesemaking business in Door County, Wisconsin. Almost completely surrounded by the fresh waters of Lake Michigan and the Bay of Green Bay, the Door County peninsula is unlike any other place in the world. Rich nutrients in the soil create lush pastures for local dairy cows to graze on. This allows the cows to produce high-quality milk, a key ingredient in the award-winning cheeses that we are known for.

Now on its third generation of cheesemakers, the Renard family is committed to handcrafting quality, gourmet cheese in America’s Dairyland. Our selection includes Cheddars, Colby, Farmers, Muenster, Brick, Marble, Monterey Jack, Mozzarella String, Smoked String and over 50 flavor-infused specialty cheeses.

Chris and Ann Renard are the owners of both Renard’s Cheese Store and Rosewood Dairy, Inc. Chris earned his Master Cheesemaker Certification – a nationally acclaimed title – in 2014. We are proud to be part of Wisconsin’s long tradition and heritage of cheesemakers. Chris continues to honor the family recipes that his father and grandfather perfected, while extending their legacy through the creation of new, award-winning flavor profiles.

At Renard’s Cheese, we understand how important fundraising is for schools and organizations who rely on the support of their neighbors. Renard’s Cheese wants to make it easier for you!
