ARTISAN
Heartisan Foods
acquires another
cheese maker
Specialty and flavored cheese
manufacturer Heartisan Foods
announced it is buying North
Country Packaging, a move that will
triple its manufacturing capacity.
To finance the purchase,
Heartisan said it is using a $10
million revolving credit line that
Ronin Equity Partners set up when
the New York-based investment
firm created Heartisan in 2021 by
acquiring and merging Red Apple
Cheese, Barron County Cheese and
Cheese Brothers.
Heartisan shared that buying
North Country Packaging will
support its growing Cheese
Brothers online brand, expanding
fulfillment capabilities and putting
the company in better position to
launch new cheese snack products
in categories such as cheese
spreads and cheese curds.
North Country co-founder Kendall
Goossen will take on a senior
executive role at Heartisan and he
and Maria Goossen will retain a
stake in the combined entity.

" We've known the Goossens and
their colleagues at North Country
for years and we share the exact
same vision, " said Gene Graf, chief
executive officer at Heartisan. " The
added capacity comes at just the
right time, given that we're currently
running our production facilities at
full steam. "
Artikaas making Gouda
with sheep's milk
Dutch Gouda maker Artikaas
launched its newest cheese
product, Holy Sheep, an aged
Gouda made from 100% sheep's
milk and imported exclusively by
Dutch Cheese Makers.
Aged for more than nine
months, the Gouda is made with
sheep's milk sourced from a family
farmstead in Holland.
" We're extremely excited to
expand our line by adding our
first sheep Gouda, " said Jessica
Frey, marketing director for Dutch
Cheese Makers. " Using sheep's milk
to make a Gouda style cheese is
quite unique in the Netherlands.
Holy Sheep is a testament to our
commitment to crafting exceptional
Dutch cheeses that embody over six
generations of innovation, tradition
and an unwavering dedication
to quality. "
Artikaas shared that it is
producing its Holy Sheep cheese
in both 9 lb wheels and 6 oz cuts.
Its products are sold at retailers
throughout the United States
and Canada.
The family-owned brand
works with 800-plus partners
in the Netherlands to create its
various cheese products. Artikaas
said it prioritizes sustainability
and zero-waste practices in its
production process.
