organic cheese

Pesticide-free dairy product

Organic cheese is cheese made from milk produced by animals raised according to organic farming standards—typically meaning no synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, or growth hormones, and often pasture-raised.

The term is regulated in most countries, requiring certification: She only buys organic cheese from the farmers market.

The designation says nothing about the cheesemaking process itself, only the milk's origins.
