Perrystead Dairy

After 15 years in the cheese industry, Yoav Perry has opened Perrystead Dairy, a creamery in Philadelphia. With access to high-quality cows' milk from surrounding counties, a supportive food community, and roads that lead to expanding markets, Perry is creating American originals. With a respect for the past and an interest in creating new cheese profiles, we talk with Perry about urban creameries, advancing American cheesemaking, and starting an urban creamery from scratch.
