Rumiano Cheese Company

Organic vs. Grass-Fed: What's the Difference? 🐮 🥛 Both terms get thrown around a lot, but what do they really mean for the milk in your glass? (or in our case - your cheese!) Organic dairy is a USDA certification, mainly focusing on production processes. Organic farms prohibit the use of many artificial and plausibly harmful substances. While this is certainly wonderful, it doesn't necessarily mean these cows are grazing on green pastures all the time. The term "grass-fed", on the other hand, focuses on the animals diet. These animals are fed primarily fresh grass. This diet has been known to produce milk rich in beneficial nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids. Although it's important to look at each company's specific grass-fed policy, as the term has a looser definition. So which is better? We say: BOTH 🤩 Rumiano Organics is proud to be both USDA Certified Organic and 100% Grass-Fed. We've made it our mission to bring you the best cheeses imaginable, going above the standard. Our grass-fed commitment means year-round pasture access for our cows, resulting in milk that's truly exceptional. To us, it's not just dairy; it's a commitment to quality, sustainability, and the well-being of our cows. #Rumiano #RumianoOrganic #OrganicCheese #Cheese #RumianoCheese #GrassFed #Dairy #OrganicDairy #Sustainable #RealFood #Cows

105 years is a long time... Rumiano Cheese has been growing for over a century, working everyday to bring you the cheesy goodness you all know and love. Some more background: 1. "The 1960's" In the first slide we see Ray Rumiano cutting and wrapping cheese by hand at our Willows, CA facility. The second slide features employees hand packing cheese in "shrink pouches" at our Willows, CA facility as well as a midcentury era distribution truck. During this era Ray focused heavily on expanding the business 2. "The 1980's" In the first slide we can see an employee hand filling cheese curd into a "hoop" or mold at the Crescent City, CA facility, as well as a "table" of curd, photographed just after the whey had been drained off. This also took place at our Crescent City, CA facility. The second slide features John and Baird Rumiano, Ray Rumiano's sons, who purchased the company from the family. The "new" Rumiano Brothers grew the business, developing our products and expanding our team! 3. "The 2000's" In the first slide we can see our Willows, CA facility (top) and our Crescent City (bottom) facilities as they appear today. The second slide shows our modern day Rumiano Organics brand as well as John and Baird Rumiano celebrating our 100 year anniversary in 2019.

This month Rumiano is celebrating its 105th birthday! 🎉 We wanted to kick off Rumiano History Month by digging up some photos from the very beginning... and bringing them to life! A little background: 1. The founding Rumiano family (John Rumiano, Alfred Rumiano, Fred Rumiano, Ginny Rumiano, & Richard Rumiano). John, Fred, and Richard emigrated to San Fransisco from the Piedmont region of Italy in the early 1910's. In 1919, they left the city to purchase the Rabbit Dairy in Willows, CA, which went on to become Rumiano Cheese Company 2. The original Rumiano Cheese Company Headquarters in Willows, CA a few years after founding 3. Fred Rumiano alongside Sonny Monroe, delivering cheese a few years after founding. Sonny Monroe was married into the family and worked with Rumiano for many years 4. Dry Jack and other cheeses aging in one of our original cellars in Crescent City. Today, our Willows aging cellar continues to utilize similar methods 5. Cheesemaking at Rumiano's Vina, CA facility. This was one of 8 facilities throughout California and Southern Oregon that produced cheeses for soldier rations during WWII. This facility was ultimately closed post-war. Stay tuned Rumiano fans, we'll be celebrating all month long! * * #Rumiano #Cheese #Organic #RumianoOrganics #RumianoCheese #OrganicCheese #History #Founding #Birthday #Willows #RedwoodCoast #Throwback

Rumiano hosted a week long training in California's North Coast, fostering meaningful connections between Producers (Farmers) and Nutrition Directors. Attendees engaged in discussions centered on ingredient sourcing, local procurement, educational materials, soil health, and scratch cooking. Facility tours in Crescent City were conducted as well, connecting participants with our advancements in water filtration, ingredient retention & distribution, while exploring the rich history our company and the community we engage in. We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to all our valuable partners and those who helped us make this event a possibility. And it wouldn't have been a success without the participation of our neighboring school districts and nutritional professionals. We highly appreciate your contribution and involvement. Stay tuned for the continuation of these meaningful events and conversations. Rumiano is working behind-the-scenes on rolling out an extra-special program we can't wait for you to see! #Rumiano #RumianoOrganics #OrganicCheese #Organic #Cheese #NorthCoast #RedwoodCoast #Nutrition #Education #Training #FarmToSchool

California has been experiencing some record-high temperatures this summer... but rest assured our cows on the Redwood Coast are staying out of the heat! Unlike the rest of the golden state, the lush region of the north coast stays temperate year-round, averaging around 65° F even in the midst of this heat wave. Our cows get to continue roaming green pastures even when you can't. Pick up some Rumiano Organic cheese from your nearest retailer to get a taste of the cool North Coast. #RumianoOrganics #OrganicCheese #RedwoodCoast #Heatwave
