We had the pleasure of hosting the Pine River Rainbows 4-H group for an exciting day of learning and tasting! 🌟 The group got a behind-the-scenes look at the custom whey ingredients side of our business, discovering how whey can be used in various applications—from creamy cheese sauces and Alfredo to cookies and protein bars! 🧀🍪 They also sampled three different types of Grande cheese while gaining insight into all the different jobs we have here at Grande beyond making cheese. The day wrapped up with a tour of our Home Office & Research Center, followed by a trip to Ala Roma (one of our valued Operators) where they enjoyed some pizza! A big thank you to the Pine River Rainbows 4-H group for spending time with us and for their interest in what we do! #GrandeCheese #PineRiverRainbows4H #WheyToGo #CheeseLovers #BehindTheScenes #CommunityInvolvement #CulinaryJourney #CheesePizzaLove

Last week, we welcomed Grande Dairy Producer Partners to our Home Office and Research Center in Fond du Lac for an afternoon and evening of education, networking and of course...delicious food! While visiting, Producers explored our new Grande virtual reality experience, which spotlights the amazing work they are doing on their farms daily, were able to taste one-of-a-kind pizza recipes and hear from the Tumolo family of La Pizzeria Metro, a dedicated Grande Operator from Delaware, and finished with a session on international dairy markets and policy, led by Global Dairy Strategist, Mary Ledman. The evening wrapped up with an opportunity for good conversation and sharing a meal together. Thank you to all of our Producer Partners for their continued dedication to quality and helping us craft, "The Finest Italian Cheeses Money Can Buy!"
