The Farmstead Difference

We love Fiscalini Farms and Cheese Company. John Fiscalini's dream to make his own cheese started many years ago. After visiting Lionza, the small town in the Swiss Alps where his family originated, his cheese making plan came together. John envisioned the dairy and cheese facility that his forefathers established in the 1700's.

Picturing the cows grazing on the lush green grass of the mountainsides, he decided to continue the tradition of making a hand-crafted farmstead cheese. Aged Cheddar and Parmesan were selected as the cheeses that he wanted to make.

Fiscalini was among the first dairies in California to be certified by the Dairy Quality Assurance Program for environmental responsibility, and was the first dairy in the nation to be certified for compliance in animal welfare issues. Their cheeses are made with only natural products, using raw milk. They add no colors, preservatives, or other artificial ingredients. Fiscalini cheeses are made in an open vat, in small quantities, handcrafted the old-fashioned way. They do not pasteurize the milk, which allows for the wholesome, natural flavors of the fresh clean milk to be expressed in the cheese.
