Our Story

Quality Roasting // Great Lakes Gold
Great Lakes Gold is a proud brand of Quality Roasting, a family-owned provider of soybean products since 1991.

Located in Valders, Wisconsin, our journey began with a mission to meet the demand for high quality soy products in the dairy feed industry. Since then, our 30 years of soybean processing experience has now extended into the food industry with Great Lakes Gold. We now have a new goal to supply our favorite restaurants with premium, locally made, vegetable oil. Our long-standing partnerships with local Wisconsin farmers (over 500!) have been key to our success over the years.

Our Process

Quality Roasting // Great Lakes Gold

From planting the fields to crafting your final product, our goal is to keep it close to home. Great Lakes Gold vegetable oil is made right here in Valders, Wisconsin, offering a chemical-free, premium option that supports local agriculture and delivers exceptional quality to your kitchen.

Our unique, all-natural approach to soybean processing distinguishes our products in the marketplace. By heating and mechanically pressing the soybeans, also known as expeller pressing, we ensure a chemical-free method that preserves the natural integrity of our products.
