The Caves of Faribault is an artisan cheese company headquartered in Faribault, Minnesota as a division of Swiss Valley Farms. Utilizing sandstone caves to age cheese, the company makes a variety of raw milk products, including several styles of blue cheese, Gouda, and cheddar. ==History of the business==
In 1936, the Treasure Cave Cheese Company, the first commercial manufacturer of blue cheese in the United States, opened in Faribault. The company took advantage of natural and man-made riverbank, sandstone caves to mature its products. Treasure Cave helped Minnesota become the key center of blue cheese production during World War II. Although it thrived, beginning in 1965, the company experienced a series of corporate sales and mergers that culminated in 1990 when ConAgra purchased the business and then closed the plant. In 2001, Jeff Jirik and two former ConAgra employees, incorporated Faribault Dairy Company, Inc., re-opened the plant, and in 2002 brought back the original Treasure Cave blue cheese, now named AmaBlu. The company makes raw milk cheese with locally produced milk tested to insure quality and safety. Several years later, the company began aging other cheese varieties, like cheddar, in the caves. The unique geological characteristics of the sandstone contribute to the aroma and flavor of the cheese. In 2010, Swiss Valley Farms, an Iowa cooperative of over 640 dairy farm families, purchased Faribault Dairy, renamed it the Caves of Faribault, and Mr. Jirik became Vice President of Blue Cheese Operations. The plant now processes about 180,000 pounds of milk a week, yielding approximately 20,000 pounds of cheese.
