Rumiano Cheese Co.

Brothers Richard, Fred and John Rumiano emigrated to the United States from Italy and are known for their development of Dry Jack cheese, especially one rubbed with a coating of black pepper dust, cocoa powder and oil.

Rumiano’s cheese production takes place in Crescent City, getting its milk from dairies in nearby Humboldt and Del Norte counties.

Retail shops are located in Crescent City and Willows, with a viewing window in the Crescent City location.
