CORMACK, N.L. — Melvin Rideout has long been connected to Cormack’s agricultural and dairy community, and now the farmer is “trying something new” and getting into secondary processing with his latest venture, the Cormack Cheese Co.“It’s my own little venture,” said Rideout.The company, located in the former Eighth Day Acres facility, started producing artisan cheese curds about three weeks ago.His interest arose when Eighth Day Acres closed about three years ago, in 2021.
Cormack milk is being turned into Cormack cheese at the Cormack Cheese Co. The artisan cheese factory is owned by Melvin Rideout. – Contributed“There’s a lot of people asking for something locally made, secondary produced from dairy,” said Rideout. While he has learned what goes into making cheese, he’s leaving the production to his cheese maker, Rob Sutton.Cheesemaking is also a new venture for Sutton, who previously had been involved in the craft beer industry as a partner in the Crooked Feeder Brewing Co.“It’s a lot of time and temperature and bacteria, so it’s still a structured process. You’re still working your way through a process to get a product from a raw ingredient,” said Sutton.
“I just watched and watched enough videos that when I did the first batch, I was confident that it was going to work. I really had the processes nailed down."It had been three years since he’d made a small batch of cheese before he made his first batch of curds at the plant. Rideout said the reaction from people has been good. The feedback they've received has included comments that the cheese curds have a nice flavour and they melt well on poutine.
