Cracker Barrel cheese is a premium brand of cheddar cheese known for its high quality and distinct aging process. Originally launched in 1954 in the United States, the brand has a unique dual-path history regarding its ownership. In Canada, where this specific marbled cheddar product is sold, the brand is owned and produced by Lactalis Canada.

The product features the 'Dairy Farmers of Canada' logo, indicating it is made with 100% Canadian milk and manufactured within Canadian facilities. While sharing a name with the American restaurant chain, the cheese brand is a completely separate entity. Through various acquisitions in the dairy industry, the Canadian rights eventually moved to Lactalis, a global leader in dairy products headquartered in France, ensuring the brand remains a staple in Canadian grocery stores.
