Gran Canaria is an award-winning artisan cheese from Carr Valley Cheese Company in LaValle, Wisconsin. This mixed-milk cheese combines pasteurized cow, sheep, and goat milk to create a complex flavor profile that is fruity, nutty, intense, sweet, and pungent. Aged for a minimum of two years and cured in olive oil in an homage to traditional Canary Island cheesemaking techniques, Gran Canaria develops a crumbly texture with bold, robust flavors. The cheese is named for one of Spain's Canary Islands and inspired by traditional Greek farmstead cheese, showcasing the innovation of Master Cheesemaker Sid Cook, the most awarded cheesemaker in North America.

Gran Canaria pairs beautifully with red wines like malbec, zinfandel, and pinot noir, or with Belgian ale, amber ale, and bourbon. It complements hearty dishes such as slow-braised short ribs, lamb stew, or prime rib, and can be grated over pasta or combined with figs for stuffed pork chops. On a cheese board, it pairs well with apricot jam, rosemary crackers, smoky bacon, and chocolate espresso beans. Gran Canaria won Overall Best USA Cheese Outright at the 2022 International Cheese and Dairy Awards and took 3rd Place at the 2025 United States Championship Cheese Contest.
