About

THE CREAMERY

Cheese and Gelato

Established in 2001, Zingerman's Creamery is dedicated to crafting handmade full-flavored cheeses and gelati using traditional methods while sourcing the highest quality milk we can find from equally dedicated, small-scale regional farmers.

We preserve the incredible flavor of the fresh milk we receive by using old-world techniques coupled with the most precious of resources, time. All of our cheeses are hand-ladled to preserve the delicate characteristics of the curd and we use uncommonly-long sets to draw out a full, complex flavor and a low-temperature long-time pasteurization to maintain that flavor.

The Cream Top Shop

Located on the South Side of Ann Arbor, Michigan, our Creamery retail shop is dedicated to purveying the highest-quality American made cheeses, beer, wine, and various accoutrements for all three. Our rotating selection includes exemplary cheeses from the best makers in the Nation as well as a curated selection of some historically incredible European imports. We also serve our hand-made gelati and sorbets from our dipping case.

Tastings and Tours

Check out our Events Page for info about upcoming tours and guided tastings at the Creamery. Our tastings have been a big hit in the Ann Arbor area, boasting intriguing pairings of our cheese with, among other things, the best beer in the region, chocolates, fermented foods, and other truly excellent local foods.
