About Us

Company History

Our Heritage and Growth 
Founded in 1991, Specialty Cheese Company began by acquiring five historic cheese factories, some dating back to the 1860s. One of these plants holds the distinction of being Wisconsin’s oldest continuously operating cheese factory—a legacy marked by a roadside plaque. 

As demand grew, we transitioned from these original sites and, in 2003, converted a local high school into a modern cheese facility. Today, visitors walk through “the Principal’s Office,” pass the former gym, and watch cheese being packaged in classrooms once dedicated to Earth Science—all while murals from the school’s past still adorn the hallways. 

Over the past 25 years, we’ve combined tradition with innovation to create authentic, award-winning cheeses. Our commitment to quality and creativity has tripled employment and strengthened our team. At Specialty Cheese Company, success is built on superior products, continuous innovation, and supporting the growth of our employees.
