Generational Leadership
In 1939, Paolo Sartori founded the Sartori Cheese company with a great passion for cheesemaking. It has been that passion and ingenuity that has sparked a successful family-run business for generations. While each generation has had their own style, our leaders Paolo, Joe, Jim, and Bert have shared one mission: making the best cheese in the world.
Our Team
Our Master Cheesemakers and team of over 40 licensed cheesemakers apply their extensive technical expertise to every aspect of cheesemaking. That passion is shown in their development of products, each carefully crafted with unique flavors and textures.
Our Master Cheesemakers Lead the Way
Becoming a Master Cheesemaker takes a passion for cheese and cheesemaking, dedication to their craft, and a whole lot of time.
Our Master Cheesemakers Lead the Way
While the Master Cheesemaker Program is three years (and quite rigorous), the many years before a cheesemaker enters the program is what truly proves their commitment and dedication of cheesemaking.
Our Master Cheesemakers Lead the Way
Before being accepted into the program, every cheesemaker must be a licensed cheesemaker for 10 years with at least five years of experience in the cheese variety they want to be certified in.
Our Master Cheesemakers Lead the Way
It has been said that it takes 10,000 hours to perfect something, and every single one of the Master Cheesemaker candidates has upwards of 20,000 hours of cheesemaking.
Our Master Cheesemakers Lead the Way
Once someone decides to become a Master Cheesemaker, they’re making a lifetime commitment to cheese. Sartori is honored to have Master Cheesemakers Ken Kane and Pam Hodgson (one of two female Master Cheesemakers in the country!) apply their knowledge, creativity, and devotion to helping us reinvent the wheel every day.
