Down at the base of Polson Bay, you’ll find a bright yellow, two story building with a 140 tube solar array crowning a copper roof; the home of Flathead Lake Cheese. Husband and wife team, Joe and Wendi Arnold, did the majority of the building themselves and became operational in March of 2012. The Arnolds create artisanal cheeses 275 gallons of locally collected milk at a time - what they call Montana style Goudas; closer to an English Cheddar than a traditional Gouda with a drier paste (or body), often a crystalline crunch and a satisfying full mouth feel.
