Schuman Cheese, previously known as Arthur Schuman Inc, is the largest U.S. importer of Italian cheeses. [1]
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. [2]
