Our Partnership with Sylvan Star Cheese
At Freson Bros., we’re proud to partner with Sylvan Star Cheese – an Alberta business with a long family history in cheesemaking. For six generations, the Snook family made cheese in the Netherlands before bringing their craft to Canada. They believe that exceptional cheese starts with a love for farming, using only the best local ingredients and time-honoured Dutch Gouda methods. Their cheesemakers carefully manage each part of the process, and many steps are still done by hand to make sure the cheese meets their high standards for size, colour, and taste.
This shared dedication to local production, artisanal methods, and uncompromising quality forms the foundation of our partnership. By collaborating with Sylvan Star Cheese, Freson Bros. is excited to offer you a unique and exceptional cheese experience, born from their traditions and our shared vision for bringing the best of Alberta to your table.
Our Hatch Chile Gouda is a special, limited-time cheese made in partnership with Sylvan Star Cheese. It’s creamy, flavourful, and made with roasted Hatch Chiles and roasted garlic. You’ll taste a mix of sweet, savoury, and just a little heat – all in one smooth, delicious bite. It’s a unique twist on Gouda that cheese lovers won’t want to miss. Grab it while it’s here!
