Classic recipes tuned to perfection and innovative specialty varieties alike earned Schuman Cheese the attention of judges at contests this summer, adding 17 new awards to the artisan cheesemaker’s already heavy trophy shelf.

Ralph Hoffman, a member of the executive leadership team at Schuman Cheese, has been appointed to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee for Trade in Processed Foods.

Schuman Cheese is shaving years off one of its long-standing but lesser-known brands to debut a contemporary look and image at this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show (Booth 554), June 23-25 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York. Bella Rosa, an entertaining-friendly line offered previously in limited distribution, will now be available on a national scale.

When a family of cheesemakers looks to expand its business, it only makes sense to align with a partner who shares a similar set of values – not just with regards to family, but also to making incredible, world-class cheese. It was no small amount of serendipity that brought Margot Fromages and Schuman Cheese together, but their new relationship means big things for the U.S. cheese market.
