Pine River is recognized for producing high-quality cheese spreads that carefully combine selected ingredients to achieve a smooth and creamy texture, while Chunky Bleu also includes small pieces of cheese for a richer taste experience. The spread is soft enough to be easily spread, yet retains pieces of blue cheese, providing an interesting contrast of textures. It pairs perfectly with all types of bread, crackers, vegetables, or even as an addition to sandwiches and pastries.

Pine River uses aged Wisconsin cheddar in their products, and their offerings include a variety of flavors such as sharp cheddar, Swiss with almonds, and jalapeño. Pine River is a family-owned company that over the decades has established itself as one of the leading American producers of high-quality cheese spreads.

They are especially known for their “cold pack” cheese spreads, which are prepared without melting to preserve the natural flavor and texture of the aged cheese.
