Exceptional Cheeses and Scenic Picnics

Nestled on the banks of the Klein river, surrounded by lush green hills and mountains, lies Klein River Cheese, a small family run cheese factory, offering a range of exceptional, high quality, South African cheeses. The farm offers a special outing for visitors who can taste and purchase cheese as well as a variety of gourmet products in The Cheese Shop; enjoy a delicious picnic on the banks of the river; all while the children take pleasure in the extensive playground or pet and feed the many farm animals. First, a Swiss-German cheese maker helped to set up the factory. He later taught local blue cheese maker, Jacko van Beulen to make the unique South African style Gruyere cheese. In the following years the cheeses as well as the cheese maker, won numerous awards and the cheese factory grew. The cheeses are currently sold at Pick n Pay; Woolworths; Checkers; Spar; Fruit & Veg; speciality stores/delis throughout South Africa as well as directly from the Cheese Shop on the farm. Klein River Cheese is located just 7km outside Stanford, along Route 326, in the heart of the fertile Klein River valley, Western Cape, South Africa
