    The BelGioioso story began over a century ago when the great-grandfather of BelGioioso President, Errico Auricchio, founded a cheese company based on a philosophy of excellence. In 1979, Errico moved his family from Italy to America with the goal of continuing his great-grandfather’s legacy. He wanted to craft the best Italian cheeses in the United States.

    When Errico came to America, he scoured the United States in search of the highest quality milk to begin his goal of making exceptional specialty cheeses. It was in Wisconsin, “America’s Dairyland”, that he found the dedicated farmers and abundant green pastures and corn fields that produce superior milk. Wisconsin milk was and still is simply unbeatable.

    In addition to his immediate family, Errico also brought with him two master cheesemakers, Mauro and Gianni. To these gentlemen, making cheese isn’t a job, it’s a calling. They carry with them a strict focus on quality and an unending passion for crafting flavorful cheeses using artisan methods. Mauro & Gianni remain part of the BelGioioso family today and work tirelessly to share their wisdom with each new generation of cheesemakers.

    Together, Errico, Mauro & Gianni began by making cheeses familiar to American consumers such as Provolone, Parmesan and Romano. Soon, consumers wanted more; new cheeses, new flavors and new aromas. Over time, we introduced cheeses previously unknown in America. Mascarpone, CreamyGorg®, Italico® and American Grana® have now become favorites. Today, BelGioioso manufactures, ages, packages and ships over twenty five varieties of specialty cheese with new cheeses continuously in development.

    BelGioioso’s commitment to tradition and excellence carries with it the value of knowing how to make Italian cheeses just as they were long ago from recipes passed down by generations. As the company has grown, the passion for tradition and quality has never diminished.

    Tradition, selection of ingredients, location and artisan inspiration are cardinal pillars that make BelGioioso cheesemakers the greatest interpreters of the best Italian cheeses in the US.

    "Our cheese making facility, located in Lena, Illinois, was built by William Thill in 1973 and was originally called Excelsior Cheese Factory. Duane and Cheryl Torkelson bought the property from Mr. Thill back in 1985 and started Torkelson Cheese Co. To continue the growth of the company, Duane and Cheryl partnered with Jamie and Lindsey White in 2008. Over the years, the Torkelsons and Whites have made many changes to the factories. A successful growth pattern has included increased storage capacities, modernizing the packaging process, enhancing our cheese making, and most recently, the completion of a new lactose production facility. Since 1986, Torkelson Cheese has earned twelve World Champion Cheese Awards, winning gold for their Muenster, Brick and Quesadilla cheese. In addition, Asadero and Apple Jack are other popular cheeses manufactured at Torkelson Cheese Co. Lindsey explains, “One of the secrets to our success is that we procure only the highest quality milk from local farmers.” For Torkelson Cheese, quality of our cheeses take first priority. Torkelson Cheese Co. uses all 100 percent natural ingredients – no added chemicals and no preservatives. “Quality really is our biggest concern,” Lindsey said. “I have two small children at home and we eat our cheese on a daily basis. I would never put something onto the market that I would not feed my own family.” “We know we are doing the absolute best that we can for our consumer,” Lindsey explained, “I really understand that people work hard to earn their money. When they choose to spend it on a dairy product that came from our plant, I am elated. People that trust Torkelson Cheese Co. at their dinner table deserve the best possible quality that we can provide.”"
