Kirkland Signature Marble Cheddar Cheese

Kirkland Signature Marble Cheddar Cheese is a private-label dairy product exclusively sold by Costco Wholesale. This specific 1.15 kg block is identified as a Canadian product, evidenced by the bilingual English and French labelling requirements and the 'Dairy Farmers of Canada' quality logo visible on the packaging. Marble cheddar is typically a blend of white and orange cheddar, processed together to create its signature aesthetic.

Kirkland Signature was launched in 1995 as a way for Costco to provide high-quality items at lower prices by controlling the branding and supply chain directly. While the brand is American, Costco often sources localized products; in this case, the cheese is manufactured within Canada using Canadian milk to meet domestic regulations and consumer preferences.

Costco Wholesale Corporation remains the ultimate owner of the brand. Headquartered in Issaquah, Washington, it is one of the largest retailers globally. The company operates as both the brand owner and the primary distributor, managing the Kirkland Signature label as a unified house brand across its international warehouse locations.
