River Whey Creamery, founded by Susan Rigg in San Antonio, Texas, is a labor of love rooted in a second-act story. After a career far from the farm, Susan pursued her passion for artisan cheese and built a creamery that celebrates both craft and community. Her small-batch cheeses reflect a dedication to quality over quantity, with a lineup that showcases the richness of cow's milk. Susan's story is a reminder that it's never too late to follow your calling—especially when it leads to great cheese.

We love this cheese as it was one of the first cheeses we brought in when we opened. It tastes like a perfect blend of Havarti and Gouda. It is creamy, lactic, and delicious.

Pair it with: Cured meats, stone fruits, bacon jams. It’s also great on a grilled cheese.
