Using milk produced on their 3rd generation dairy farm, from cows that graze on Certified–Organic pastures, the Giacomini family has created a truly unique farmstead table cheese.
The Giacomini family has been passionate about farming for over 100 years, starting with Tobias Giacomini who left northern Italy in 1904 for a new beginning in northern California. After a couple of moves, the family eventually settled in Point Reyes, California in 1938.
In 1954, Tobias’s grandson, Bob, and his new bride, Dean, bought land just up road from his family and started their own dairy farm with just 150 cows. Over the years, they managed to raise the herd to over 500 cows on 700 acres, and raise four beautiful daughters, Karen, Diana, Lynn, and Jill – also known as the Milkman’s Daughters.
When Bob realized that as a family they needed to decide what to do with the family farm, he called his girls back home. According to the family, their goal was “to create something that would combine our mutual appreciation of farm fresh food, our love for the land where we were raised, and our desire to keep our family’s legacy alive for future generations.” After releasing their flagship cheese, Original Blue, in 2000, the Giacominis then focused on a selection of prized cheeses.
