The Story of The Loleta Cheese Company

Bob and Carol Laffranchi founded Loleta Cheese Company in 1982. The idea started with Bob when he was teaching agriculture education at Eureka High School. He began to lead his dairy class students through the maze of cheesemaking, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Bob and Carol decided cheesemaking was what they wanted to do with their lives . . .
that is . . . manufacturing superior quality cheese, and in the process, contribute to the economy of Humboldt County, California. Our factory is located in the historical 1919 Bertsch Building, which they purchased and remodeled as their cheesemaking factory, specialty food and wine shop, and lavish gardens.
