Sylvan Star Cheese

At places like Sylvan Star Cheese, we are reminded of the principles of quality food production. It is as simple as this. Good seeds are planted in fertile soil to sprout beautiful fields.

It all depends on the cows according to John
Schalkwyk, who's been making cheese for over fifty years.
