Welcome to Tucumcari Mountain Cheese!

On behalf of the Krause and Schaap families, we thank you for visiting our website. We are the proud owners of Tucumcari Mountain Cheese Factory.

Tucumcari Mountain Cheese is a producer of 12 varieties of cheeses. These include Cheddar, Gouda, Asiago, and our own brand of Feta, Ithaki, which we feel is truly the best in the business. Here’s a little-known fact: we are the largest producer of feta cheese in the Southwest.

We are proud to be producing feta that is everything you’ve come to expect from the delicious Greek cheese. In fact, 95% of our production at Tucumcari Mountain Cheese is Ithaki Feta.

World Championship Cheese Contest Winner!
