One of Canada's longest running cheese companies, Ivanhoe Cheese specializes in artisan aged cheddar. They also make specialty cheeses such as smoked Gouda and flavoured monterey jacks. There is an outlet at this location. I'm particularly fond of their old cheddar.
The Ivanhoe Cheese Factory Outlet is open year round: except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The factory store is open on Friday nights until 8 p.m. during the summer months, starting on the long weekend in May through Labour Day.
On the business side of things, Ivanhoe Cheese began as a small dairy cooperative in 1870 and went private in 1986. It was acquired by Gay Lea Foods, Ontario's largest dairy cooperative, in 2008.
This plant is HACCP, Kosher and Halal certified. They have approximately 97 employees. After privatization, the company entered the foodservice, consumer and ingredients markets as well. They have a unique process cheese and premium quality cheese sauces.
