Jeff, a third-generation licensed cheesemaker, has been manufacturing cheese for 45 years. He is certified as a Master Cheesemaker for Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, and Fontina cheeses; he also worked on artisan cheese. Jeff received awards from the Center for Dairy Research for the cheeses he made. His love for cheesemaking started as a child in the family home located on the floor above the cheese factory. Jeff and his wife moved to Monroe in 2016 to further Jeff's employment with his Master Cheesemaking skills. They quickly made many wonderful friendships in the area.
