“I love Muenster Cheese. Semi-hard German-American cheese with an interesting orange color. Traditionally, Germans created the orange color by washing the rind of the cheese while aging. Today, most use orange natural annatto color instead. Muenster is one of those cheeses that changes dramatically over time. When eaten fresh, it has a mild flavor and melts perfectly for a great panini or on top of a cream cheese bagel. If allowed to age, Muenster literally starts to ooze and become pungent in flavor. The older Muenster gets, the scarier it may be to the not so daring cheese eater.”
Caputo Cheese began in 1978 as a small retail cheese shop, selling small bulk quantities of various types of domestic and imported cheeses. The founders, René and Pasquale Caputo, known for their fine quality and excellent service, soon began providing processed and blended cheeses to food distributors and manufacturers. Caputo eventually expanded their product line to include other high-quality cheeses, as well as Italian specialties such as oils, vinegars, pastas and spices.

Today, Caputo Cheese is a thriving family company led by Natale Caputo (René and Pasquale’s son). The Caputo team strive to bring their customers a taste of the old world, with new-world service. From classic grated cheeses to award-winning fresh Mozzarella and their famous Burrata, Caputo products possess the quality, flavor and consistency that only high standards, commitment and family pride can produce. They also are bringing in a lot of new cheeses as Nat Caputo travels to Italy several times a year to source products.
