Tulip Tree Creamery

I visited for the February Open House. The group that was there got a cheese plate to sample. The cheese plate consisted of Snapdragon, Nettle, Fromage Frais, Trillium, and one other cheese which I think was Dutch Tulip. They were all fantastic. There was a short presentation and then a tour given by Co-Owner Laura Davenport. It was interesting to hear about how the different cheeses are processed and how Tulip Tree Creamery came to be. After the tour I made a purchase of two cheeses: Nightshade and Fromage Frais. If you enjoy cheese then you need to check them out. Their website is https://www.tuliptreecreamery.com/ On there you can find out about all the cheeses and where to purchase them. They also have classes you can take to make your own cheese. Another website to learn about their classes and events is https://www.eventbrite.com/o/tulip-tree-creamery-8524842081

I found this gem of a cheese shop on Yelp! You wouldn't expect a cheese shop in a commercial complex, but there it is. Patty greeted us and enthusiastically told us all about their award winning cheeses. All the cheeses are made on site from locally sourced milk. We purchased a variety of wedges and they are absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Trillium which is a soft creamy Brie-like cheese. We also picked up the HOPS and Nightshade cheeses which were wonderful. These were some of the best cheeses I've ever had. They offer three levels of cheese making classes on Thursdays and Saturdays. They also sell cheese related products such as cutting boards in their shop. The shop is just off Lafayette Road and 62nd Street. Parking is out front. Well worth a visit.

Came here last week cause I heard they finally have a storefront to buy directly from. Selection is very small, literally just 1 standing fridge. But if you love their products you'll love it regardless. They also have a few other local goodies for sale. It's all in the same space they have their cheese making classes.Tonight we went to a pop up event in the same space and got to sample so many goodies. Of course Tulip Tree's cheeses, butter, and puddings. Plus Smoking Goose's yummy cured meats, some baked goods from Lydia the Baker, and wines from Words Wine Collection. It was so awesome being able to try things that you might not normally try. The butter from Tulip Tree is delicious, I could eat it on it's own. The Fromage Frais is also great, especially paired with Local Folks Foods' Purple Haze (blueberry jam). Queen Anne's Lace was also good, again enhanced with Purple Haze. We even got to try the butterscotch and chocolate puddings. I'm not a fan of butterscotch pudding but I thought it was better than their chocolate. There were baked goods from St. Athanasius but we didn't get to try those since the two vendors from there didn't offer my friend and I anything when we checked out their table. Definitely will go back to buy some more goodies from here.

Just go here, the atmosphere is amazing the staff is super friendly! I do hope that the offer tours, their process is amazing from what I've heard. My personal favorite is the Queen Anne's Lace, true recommendation. I can't wait to see how much they grow!

My significant other and I did a mozzarella making class and it was pricey but definitely worth it! We had a blast making cheese for the first time and enjoyed the samples and tour. For the class, you get a charcuterie board with 5 cheeses, and all the supplies to make 1 pound of mozzarella (which can be frozen and saved for up to a year). We also got a tour of the facility and a brief overview of their other products. I will definitely be doing another class soon!!

My husband and I wanted to do more experiences together and I've heard about Tulip Tree creamery before and saw they offered cheese making classes. We had such an amazing time and our instructor Liv was so helpful, kind, and patient. The ticket included a personalized cheese plate (featured in my photos) that allowed us to sample some of their cheeses, and it was BYOB so we brought a bottle of wine. It was about three full hours, but it went by so quickly! We left with so much mozzarella. I couldn't recommend this class enough. We can't wait to sign up for the next level. So so so good!

Took the ricotta and burratta class. Very fun. Loved the tasting plate they offer at beginning of class. Good teacher and fun experience. Bonus to bring home cheese!

Two words: cheese-making classes. Sign yourself up with a group of friends, family or co-workers. We did this as a work excursion and team-building night. It was a BLAST. Not only did we learn a lot, but playing with the forming cheese was therapeutic, and the aftermath was delicious. The staff here always have fun, are super professional and are great teachers. We had a group of six and it was the perfect size. My favorite cheese that I made was the mozarella and I ended taking SO much home. The process took a few hours and we each made multiple different cheeses (I believe you can choose).Tulip Tree Creamery also makes some of the best cheeses in the state and you can sample them at several different farmers markets around the state. I most recently saw them at the Indy winter farmers market and Broad Ripple summer farmers market. Their gouda is my all-time favorite. Bonus: Have a wedding coming up?! They make cheese-wheel cakes that are so adorable and funky. Love the idea of breaking the mold and channeling your inner dairy queen.

Came here for a cheese making class with some of my coworkers and had an incredible experience. Not only did we snack on some incredible cheese and dairy products produced by Tulip Tree (I am now a total cultured butter junkie) but we learned how to make two different types of cheese and got to take some home with us! First we made some queso blanco, a semi soft cheese perfect for adding to tacos, salads, and other Mexican dishes. Then we tried our hand at mozzarella and enjoyed some good old fashion competition as we each tried to out pull each other (I'm pretty sure I had the best pull, tbh, but I digress). And let me tell you, there is nothing better than fresh, just pulled mozzarella. "Annette," you might say, "that's a bold statement." And to that I would respond, "Yes, yes it is. And it's 100% accurate." I seriously had no chill when it came to that cheese. I couldn't stop eating slices of the stuff. So delicious. After we got a tour of their amazing facility, all the coolers full of aging wheels of cheese. It was heaven. Or maybe hell because we were surrounded by all that goodness and we couldn't touch it. Luckily they were kind enough to stock our tasting table with a lot of the beautiful fromage we would later see in those fridges so it wasn't too much of a tease. Our instructors were so wonderful and we had the best time taking ridiculous photos and videos with them. I was cheese drunk and realized the next morning that I had left my coat at the facility and they were kind enough to leave the door open so I could sneak in to grab it on my way to the airport later that day. I took all my will power to not grab some cheese and run on my way out! But I was good. I'll just have to order more online.

If you've ever dreamed of being a cheese wizard, this is your Hogwarts. Tulip Tree Creamery's mozzarella-making class was hands-down the most fun I've ever had with curds (and that includes all my pizza nights).The instructors were equal parts knowledgeable and entertaining--I'm pretty sure they could make a brick of cheddar laugh. They guided us through stretching, pulling, and shaping our mozzarella like dairy-fueled sculptors. My first attempt looked more like a mozzarella crime scene, but by the end, I had a ball of cheese so beautiful I considered framing it instead of eating it. (Spoiler: I ate it.)10/10 would recommend! Come for the cheese, stay for the laughs, and leave with an impressive new skill to show off at dinner parties.
