Black River Cheese Co. Review

Prince Edward county's special places. Cheese is the best but ice cream treats are also good here! You'll find lots of other local county goodies sold here too!!!

I've been here back in 2005 when a block of "extra old" cheese sold for $50.00. Now closer to $75.00. Just a bit rich for my blood, so we settled for a smaller sized portion in the lower bin that was reasonable. Very delicious!

The stsff are pleasant and helpful. Accessing store is well organized during COVID.

Decent cheese if you're out this way, good price and lots of varieties. The soup is homemade and the grilled cheese delicious - make sure you have some lunch here!

Don't let the building's modest size fool you, in fact, its smallness is part of its charm. Nestled along the banks of the Black River, the cheese on offer here is some of the very best I've ever had! My favourite is their lovely Maple Cheddar, an opinion shared by many others.

My advice? Stay at the beautiful and recently renovated Manse Hotel in Picton, then venture out and explore the many local treasures that include fine restaurants, organic farms, wineries, micro-breweries, fruit orchards and of course, Black River Cheese!

Prince Edward County is true foodie heaven!

We stumbled across this place accidentally and we are so so happy we did. So much amazing cheese here and lovely ice cream and other treats. They are located next to a lake where you can sit and enjoy your goodies next to a beautiful view. We were so happy to find them and you will too.

We love to stop here whenever we can; the black peppercorn and garlic cheese is always a favorite.

& we're so glad we were still able to stop for curd while everything else was shut down!

My family has been coming here for generations. Best cheese curds "squeaky cheese" around! Ice cream is delicious and generous servings as well. A must stop!

Excellent local food and great service. Staff are very knowledgeable.

Good spot to stop for an ice cream or to pick up some cheese. Nice view of the river!

A little busy bud they had cheese samples and delicious ice cream

The cheese is amazing and the service was great! The girls had smiles on their faces which goes a long way in customer service!

Used to be awesome but since being bought by Gay Lea the selection has become less cheese inspired.......where is the 5 and 7 year old cheese? I don't care about butter tarts

I grew up here and visiting the cheese factory now makes me less nostalgic

Curd was amazing as always. 5 stars.. the best curd/cheese anywhere!!!!

Right on the wine tour route. Excellent selection of cheese and other locally made foods. Will go out of my way for a return visit when in the region.

Curd cheese so good they have it with Garlic too if any of you would like to try that!

Still a great spot to stop in, but a little sad that they don't make their own cheese anymore.

Great cheese, great prices. Must try the garlic curds!!

I love the different types of cheese they offer. Be prepared to spend a little bit more money at this place.

Really enjoyed my experience, good service, cheese not too expensive and very good. They have the halloumi cheese that can be used on bbq or hot stone (raclette). Bonus, they have the kawartha ice cream at a very low price, ask to have it in a cup (not cone) and you will the biggest genereous portion you'll ever see

Quick service. Delicious quality ice cream. Reasonable prices

Very nice little shop in Prince Edward county where you can get delicious ice cream, sample some delicious cheeses then take in some local art

Friendly staff and generous portions of ice cream. Also look for their "cheese ends" for a great deal. They don't always have them, but most times they do.

Great selection of dairy products. Get there early on weekends or you'll miss the curds!

Want halloumi and parmesan cheese half the price of the Picton grocery stores? Look no further! The ice cream is amazing but many times they have almost none in stock. Overall, the staff are so friendly and funny, cheese is good and inexpensive and the ice cream is delicious when they have the good flavors available.

Lots of flavors of mozzarella and cheddar. Not many other kinds of cheese. Samples. We really like the cracked pepper and mole cheddar. Outdoor picnic tables by the river.

This is a very popular spot for it's cheese and there is always a lineup for it's hard ice cream.

Great selection of fresh made cheeses. The absolute best milkshakes.

Fresh, squeaky curds! Yum. Must try the deep fried curds from the snack shack!!

A locally owned cheese factory with lots of great cheddars.

Cheeses are vac packed in the fridge. I was disappointed that there was not an open counter and you had to buy as packaged. There were no smaller options either.

They did have 2 samples bowls that were empty and the 3 teenaged kids working did not seem interested in refilling them despite people looking and asking. I did suggest that if perhaps there were samples in the bowl, people night be inclined to purchase the cheese and they jumped into action. Despite the lack of service or initiative of staff, I did make a small purchase.

They have an ice cream counter on one side of the shop and offer other packaged items. It was a shame that there was no one around to provide info on the background of the company, cheese processing, or general info, especially on the first Saturday of the season! People like to know about and support small business.

Love going here. Nice selection of cheese, but the Maple Cheddar is amazing! And they have a good selection of ice cream.

Best cheese in Ontario! They also have delicious Chapman's ice cream.
