Watonga Cheese Factory was founded in 1940 in Watonga, Oklahoma. It was purchased in 2002 by Casey and Brandi Cowan. Then in 2007 tragedy struck when a tropical storm brought 80-mile-an-hour winds and 9 to 11 inches of rain and the factory was destroyed. The City of Perryton, Texas offered incentives to the Cowans to rebuild there and the factory was re-opened in 2010. Watonga Cheese Factory was voted "Best Cheese in Texas" Voted the “Best Cheese in Texas” in 2014, Watonga Cheese Factory still uses the same recipe and the same equipment that makes them stand out from the rest, and prides itself in its 70-year tradition to produce rich, handmade cheddar cheese full of flavor. In addition to producing all-natural cheddar cheese at it's location, the factory has a retail store where you can buy its mild cheddar, sharp cheddar, bacon cheddar, cheddar pepper, and onion cheddar cheeses. It also sells cheese curds (the freshest part of the cheese before whey is pressed out), along with approximately 50 different kinds of other manufacturers’ cheeses. During the cooler weather seasons, they will ship their products all over the United States. Our mailing address, which is different from our physical address, is: PO Box 1246, Perryton, TX 79070-1246

Recently purchased several different cheeses and two jars of "Jan's Spicy, Sweet Garlic, Dill" Pickles"; to borrow a phrase from a potato chip company, "bet you can't eat just one." Huge selection of other items and a courteous and friendly staff makes for a great shopping experience.

They have the best cheese! The flavor in their cheese doesn't compare to the cheese of others brands. Once you taste Watonga Cheese you won't want any other brand. It has the Best flavor!

If you go to their store it's the best customer service you'll receive. If you order online, you receive what you ordered and it's delicious!!

If you haven't tried Watonga Cheese 🧀 you really should. You'll like it so much you'll buy it for your friends as gifts.

Watonga Cheese is a personal favorite. I have been enjoying their cheesy goodness for decades. Their mild cheddar has a buttery flavor and melts to perfection. I purchase it for my father as well as it reminds him of good old fashioned slicing cheese.
The company’s customer service is prompt and friendly. They take great care in packing their products so that they arrive in perfect condition! I’d recommend you give it a try.

Jennifer, it is long-time loyal customers like yourself that has kept our little factory going for 78 years. Our cheese is the best and we provide the best customer service we can but without faithful, loyal customers that come back again and again it would all be for naught. We truly appreciate your patronage all these decades and look forward to continuing to serve you for many more years to come.

I love the Watonga Cheese Factory. Their green onion cheese curds are my favorite, but you can't go wrong with any of their varieties. The owners and staff are top notch and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. I highly recommend the Watonga Cheese Factory.

My mom grew up eating this cheddar cheese as did I and my kids when the factory was in Watonga, Oklahoma. But then Hurricane Erin created high winds in Oklahoma that destroyed the factory in 2007. The factory was rebuilt in Perryton, TX. They have a retail store with ample parking, or they will ship the cheese right to my front door and it usually arrives the next day. In my opinion, the cheese tastes better now then I remember it tasting when I was a kid. I especially love the Cheddar Cheese Curds. They are so fresh they squeak when I bite into them. My second favorite is the mild long horn. My family loves it when I send them the cheese gift sets during the holidays. These folks are very friendly on the phone when you call them and they provide excellent customer service. Although I have never been, they do provide tours of the cheese factory where you and your kids can get a first hand look at how cheese is made. If you haven't tried this cheese yet, do! You are in for a real treat.

We look forward to selling cheese to you for many, many years to come. Thank you again.
