Perrystead The Real Philly Cheese

Forget the cheesesteak debate — The Real Philly Cheese is Perrystead Dairy's bold declaration of what Philadelphia cheese can truly be. This fresh, spreadable cow's milk cheese is bright and tangy with a clean, lactic finish and a texture so silky it practically melts on contact. It's Philly pride in every bite.

The Story

Perrystead Dairy is Philadelphia's pioneering urban creamery, crafting artisan cheese in the heart of the city using milk from local, grass-fed Pennsylvania cows. Founder Yolanda Acree built Perrystead on a simple belief: great cheese doesn't have to come from far away. The Real Philly Cheese is their most unapologetically local expression — a fresh, versatile cheese that celebrates the flavors and spirit of the city it calls home.
