We have retired!

The cheeses of Briar Rose Creamery are on hiatus while we look for someone to continue our legacy. If you would like to purchase the business, the equipment and/or the property, please reach out! You can check out our property listing here.

Briar Rose Creamery created rich, delicate cheese by hand from sweet, fresh milk.  We nurtured each small batch of cheese, and took the extra time needed to achieve the best flavor and texture, highlighting the seasonal qualities of our cheese.  We're a small, artisan cheese maker that loved this intimate, time-honored process that goes into every ounce of cheese that we created.  Making great cheese was our passion and we feel lucky to share that passion for our craft with you.

Briar Rose Creamery takes time-honored traditions and makes cheeses that are distinctly delicious and current. Cheesemaking goes back thousands of years and we honor ancient techniques by creating every cheese, from our spreadable Fromage Blanc to our aged Callisto, with a delicate hand. This results in bright flavored cheeses that ripen perfectly to their full flavors. Our cheeses are made to pair well with craft beers and Oregon Pinot Noir. We look after every piece of cheese from the day it is created to the moment it leaves our doors, taking the time to get the most out of every ounce of cheese. Each piece of cheese has a depth of flavor that’s a pleasure to reveal and experience. We’re pretty sure you’ll love our cheeses as much as we do.

Briar Rose Creamery is located in the hills above Dundee, Oregon, due East of the Pacific Ocean. We're lovingly surrounded by acres of forest land and Pinot Noir vineyards. When we looked for a home for Briar Rose we focused on Yamhill County in the fertile Willamette Valley because of the natural resources: rivers, forests, and farmland. Our neighboring wineries make some of the best wines in the world. Since 2010 we have been embraced by the close-knit community of chefs, farmers, winemakers, and fellow food producers and enjoy adding cheese to the colorful landscape and palette of food made by hand in Oregon.
