ARE WOOLWICH DAIRY PRODUCTS GLUTEN-FREE?
Yes! Goat milk and all of the added ingredients used in the Woolwich Dairy product manufacturing facilities are gluten-free.

 

ARE WOOLWICH DAIRY PRODUCTS PRODUCED IN A ‘NUT-FREE’ FACILITY?
Although not certified "peanut-free" or "nut-free", peanuts, nuts, tree nuts and other derivatives are not allowed in any of our manufacturing facilities. Plus, we have an extensive allergen program in place.

WHY DO YOUR INGREDIENTS READ "CONTAINS: MILK"?
Cow’s milk media is used in the fermentation process when making bacterial cultures, an integral ingredient in cheese making. Even though the cow’s milk allergen represents a very small fraction of the bacterial culture, per current regulations, cow’s milk is identified as an allergen and must be called-out separately with other recognized allergens. We proudly make all of our goat goodness with 100% fresh Canadian goat milk.

ARE WOOLWICH DAIRY PRODUCTS LACTOSE-FREE?
All milk contains a certain level of lactose, therefore Woolwich Dairy goat cheese is not lactose-free. However, goat milk contains less naturally occurring lactose compared to cow's milk.


ARE WOOLWICH DAIRY PRODUCTS MADE WITH PASTEURIZED MILK? 
Yes, all of our products are made with pasteurized goat milk.


WHAT KIND OF SALT DO YOU USE IN YOUR PRODUCTS?
We use sea salt in our Soft Fresh Goat Cheese and evaporated salt in our Feta, Cheddar and Mozzarella items.

CAN I EAT THE RIND OF YOUR WOOLWICH DAIRY BRIE?
The outer layer (rind) of our brie is edible. Eating the rind offers the palate more flavor and texture.


CAN YOU FREEZE UNOPENED GOAT CHEESE WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE QUALITY AND TEXTURE?
If you decide you want to freeze unopened goat cheese, we only advise freezing our Soft Fresh Goat Cheese.


HOW LONG ARE WOOLWICH DAIRY PRODUCTS GOOD FOR AFTER BEING OPENED?
We recommend consuming our products within 7 to 14 days after opening.

IS YOUR GOAT CHEESE ‘VEGETARIAN’? 
Yes, our goat cheese is made with vegetable based microbial enzymes that are animal rennet free.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO SERVE WOOLWICH DAIRY GOAT CHEESE?
We suggest taking the cheese out of the refrigerator to temper, up to 45 minutes prior to serving.


SINCE THE SAPUTO ACQUISITION (OCTOBER 2015), HAVE YOUR RECIPES AND/OR INGREDIENTS CHANGED?
Happy to report that all of our recipes and ingredients have remained the same. We continue to craft our goat goodness with the same love and traditional methods.


WHAT ANIMAL WELFARE STANDARDS DO YOU ABIDE BY?
Our position as a global leader in dairy processing comes with responsibility, and we use it to promote animal care and appropriate handling practices. We have a Zero Tolerance Policy for any act of animal cruelty. To learn more about our promise for responsible sourcing, please visit saputo.com.
