BLUE MOUNDS — It's a good bet that if you asked people from this area to name two or three successful cheese operations in this part of the state, nobody would think to mention Dairyfood USA.
One reason is that it makes extended shelf-life — or processed — cheeses. Some cheese fans might scoff at such products being made in the shadows of some of the world's greatest natural cheesemakers right here in America's Dairyland.
It's also hard to find any extended shelf-life cheese products with Dairyfood USA's company label on them. That's because it makes specialty spreads, bars, wedges and naturally smoked cheeses for a wide-ranging list of companies in the gift-pack, airline, food service, snack and retail industries, and they put their own labels on them.
"We are, in my opinion, a very well-kept secret," Dairyfood USA president Dan Culligan said.
