What is Organic Valley?

My family has been buying Organic Valley products since I was a wee little child - no jokes. They're that amazing! Organic Valley is an organic food brand and independent cooperative of organic farmers based in La Farge, Wisconsin, United States. Founded in 1988, Organic Valley is the nation’s largest farmer-owned organic cooperative and one of the world's largest organic consumer brands.

What makes Organic Valley different from other dairy brands?

The reason I use Organic Valley in my everyday cooking is because their dairy products add nutrition AND flavor to my dishes without antibiotics, synthetic hormones, toxic pesticides, nor GMOS. 🙌

I also love how Organic Valley works with small organic family farmers instead of being a single large dairy producer.

How to Prep the Crostini in Advance:

The olive oil will help your bread to get crispy in the oven, but also keep it from drying out for several hours. You can prep the actual crostini (bread only) a few hours in advance, if needed. Add the whipped ricotta when ready to serve.
