description Cheese Cave Overview
Cheese Cave is a lava tube in southern Washington's volcanic landscape. During the mid-20th century, the Guler Cheese Company used the cave to age Gouda, making the site an example of a natural underground space adapted for food storage and production. Its basaltic setting connects it to the region's volcanic geology, while its documented commercial use distinguishes it from lava tubes known chiefly for recreation or scientific study. The name reflects this cheese-aging history.
