Vella Cheese Company

Since 1931, Vella Cheese has been a companion to the finest foods in the world. As an ingredient, sprinkled on top, or served alongside the full fresh flavor and smooth creamy texture of Vella Cheese is guaranteed to satisfy.

The success of Vella Cheese lies in the personal attention each day's production is given. Quality starts in the pasture. Every cow is not the same. Every day is not sunny; every blade of grass is not green and lush. But, if you insist on the finest breeding of herds, the finest feeds, the greatest care in milking and transporting the top grade milk, so that you have the best possible natural raw material, you have set the stage for super cheese.

We are all natural

Only natural ingredients go into our cheeses and their coatings. All the milk in our cheese comes from a local sustainably-farmed dairy and their happy free range California cows. Our whey, which is a by-product of cheesemaking, returns to the dairy and to local vineyards to enrich their crops. We are the first solar powered business in Sonoma. We are committed to waste diversion, including recycling, composting, and furthering the sustainability of all our operations.
