Assorted Cheese Knives (Set of 4)
Complete your cheeseboard with this set of engraved Stepladder logo cheese knives. The set includes 4 different types of knives, perfect for cutting, spreading and snacking on all your favorite cheeses.
Here's a breakdown of each style of knife featured in the set (from top to bottom in photo):
1 Narrow Plane Knife (top) - his style of knife is made for cutting cheese as well as chipping away at a larger wedge or block of cheese.
2: Cheese Fork - This isn't technically a knife, but is a great tool for cheeseboard snacking. You can use the fork to pick up pieces of cheese and other goodies for plating. It can also be used to break up large pieces of cheese into smaller pieces.
3: Parmesan Knife - This knife style features a pointed (and sharp) tip used to help break off or slice harder types of cheese such as Parmesan or our Cabrillo.
4 Flat Cheese Knife (bottom) - Cut slices or pieces off cheese wedges easily with the flat surface of this knife.
Please note we have a very limited quantity of knife sets. Order for yourself or gift to a cheese lover before they sell out.

The Happiest Goats in the USA
As a farmstead creamery, we raise our goats on the farm and make cheese from their milk, which allows us to manage every aspect of the Stepladder cheese production.
With every passing season, our herd has grown, as has the variety of both goat and cow’s milk cheeses we now produce in our creamery.
Our herd of 40 goats consists of registered LaManchas (the only breed of goats developed in the United States), and they happily graze on three acres of open pasture!
Sustainable from Start to End
STEPLADDER CREAMERY
Being a sustainable ranch and creamery is non-negotiable for us. We love where we live and work, and want to keep it just as beautiful as when we got here.
How do we stay sustainable?
Solar-Power
A 50KW solar array on the farm produces roughly 90 percent of the energy we use
Water Catchments
We rely on spring water and a large rain catchment refreshed by the annual rain as our main source
Circular Waste-Reduction
We utilize the manure from the goats to fertilize our orchards, and free-roaming Stepladder piggies receive the spent whey from the creamery and get to eat any unsellable harvested fruit and veg.
