Schuman Cheese, Fairfield, New Jersey, previously known as Arthur Schuman Inc, is a U.S. importer, cheese-maker, producer and distributor of Italian and Italian-style cheeses.[1] Since its beginning they have expanded with importing cheeses from France, Belgium, Greece, Israel, Spanish, Swiss, Dutch, and South America.[2]
Schuman Cheese was set up by Arthur Schuman, in 1945 as a family business with his sons Jerome and Howard. A year later the New York-based cheese importing company became Arthur Schuman, Inc. In 1948, a relationship with Argentina was established for importing South American cheeses. In 1956 the company became Roquefort Cheese's sole agent.[3]
The company has since then also acquired Grater Inc., Lake Country Dairy, Madison Cheese, Robin Packing, Polser, Imperia Foods, and a Blue Cheese production factory in Montfort, WI, as well as becoming the sole distributor of Dodoni Greek cheeses.[4]
In 2016 the name was changed to Schuman Cheese.[5]
Later that year, Schuman Cheese launched a "True Cheese Mark" to counter concerns about the adulteration of cheese with ingredients such as wood pulp and plastic. Cheese bearing the label is tested by Covance Food Solutions to ensure its purity.[6]
