Meet Wisconsin’s Proudest
Pioneers, Explorers
& Dreamers

In 1964, Gilberto Villaseñor and Ignacio Villaseñor accomplished a longstanding dream: to produce a fresh cheese that reflected the traditions of their native Mexico. The company they founded, V&V Supremo Foods, is now an industry leader in the fastest growing food category in both the retail and food service categories: premium, authentic Mexican-style food products. The family chose to make cheese in Wisconsin since it reminded them of their dairy rich state at home in Mexico. Now, it is also the oldest Hispanic family-run cheese manufacturer in the U.S. V&V Supremo oaxaca and Chihuahua Queso Quesadilla are manufactured in their Wisconsin cheese plant, Chula Vista Cheese Company. Today, 50+ years after their founding, V&V continues to preserve and share delicious traditions of the Mexican American Kitchen as well as cuisines of the world, one cheese at a time.

Edelweiss Creamery is a small artisan Wisconsin cheese factory employing state-of-the-art technology alongside the tried and true traditional method of cheesemaking.

Red Apple Cheese is a family of cheeses, including Apple Smoked brand, Naturally Good Kosher brand, Waxed Screaming Dutchman brand, flavored Red Apple brand, non-fat Skinny Cheese brand and shelf-stable Cracker Top brand - all made from 100% natural milk. Prior to smoking, Apple Smoked cheeses are aged to enhance the taste. Cheesemakers then slowly and naturally cold-smoke each piece of cheese with a specially aged apple pulp & hardwood so a hint of apple flavor can be tasted in each sharp rich flavored piece. You'll find the Red Apple special accent is a perfect smoked flavor. Give them a try - as table cheeses, to complement your favorite fruit plates, sprinkled over tacos, shredded on pizza, added to traditional Italian dishes, or as toppings on warm veggies and burgers. The possibilities are limitless with Red Apple Cheese on hand!
