There's a reason cheese heads live in Wisconsin, a US state with a long, well-established history in the commercial cheese industry dating back to 1837. In fact, there were over 2,800 cheese factories in the northern border state by the 1920s so, it's no surprise that modern, high-quality cheeses originate there as well. Sargento Foods, founded in Plymouth, Wisconsin, in 1953, has grown into a powerhouse of cheese manufacturing and is a dominant brand across the US. Sargento is the company that successfully introduced America to pre-packaged sliced and shredded natural cheeses and cheese blends. Originally specialising in Italian cheese varieties, Sargento eventually climbed to be one of the largest cheese retail companies in the US. The family-owned company also produces ingredients and snack foods for grocery stores at the retail and corporate levels for clients like restaurants and even other food manufacturers.
