Once
the domain of European manufacturers, these specialty cheese varieties are made
in modern cheese-making facilities that utilize some of the traditional labor-intensive
processes established in Europe long ago. Some
of Roth Kase's cheesemakers were trained in Switzerland. Steve McKeon, President
and Chief Operating Officer, is proud of the company's unique production procedures
and attention to authenticity and detail saying that "we're creating a piece of
art, not a piece of science." In the 1970's, Fermo Jaeckle started as a cheese
importer, focusing on European specialty cheeses. Then in 1991, he and two Swiss
cousins purchased a cheese facility in Monroe and converted it into a modern plant
capable of making traditional, handcrafted cheeses as efficiently as possible.
