Sylvan starts with the basics: some crackers, a jar of mustard, honey or jam, Canadian maple syrup, or all of them, some Linder chocolates and then the pièce de resistance, your pick of cheeses.

Perhaps a milder young Gouda for the always helpful neighbour?

Or award-winning extra-aged grizzly for the outdoorsman in your life?

Or why not make a statement with a spicy cayenne and black peppercorn cheese?

There are more than 25 varieties of cheese to choose from, variety to satisfy every palette.

Sylvan Star Cheese makes its cheese at its solar-powered factory right here in Sylvan Lake, Alta.

The head cheese maker is Art Snoek, who along with his wife Jennifer, bought Sylvan Star Cheese in 2022. Art is a sixth-generation cheesemaker from the Gouda area of Holland. The couple make their cheese following the award-winning recipes used by the previous owners. The key ingredient: locally sourced whole milk, heat treated with no additives or antibiotics.

The cheese is aged for a minimum of two months. The grizzly, which is named for its bite and power, is aged one to two years. The old grizzly, Sylvan Star Cheese’s oldest cheese, is aged two to nine years.
