DCI Cheese Company
Richfield-based DCI Cheese Company recently formed an agreement with Bel Brands USA which named DCI Cheese the exclusive distributor for Port Salut and Leerdammer cheeses in the United States. Port Salut is a traditional monastery cheese originally created in 1816 by Trappist monks at the Abbaye du Port du Salut in the Loire Valley, France. It is produced exclusively by Bel Brands. Leerdammer brand was not officially unveiled until 1977, but its history dates back to 1914. Leerdammer was created to compete with Gouda and Edam by two entrepreneurial Dutch men in the municipality of Leerdam, the cheese’s namesake. The cheese is a delectable cross between traditional Dutch Gouda and Emmental cheeses with a sweet, nutty, mild taste that becomes more pronounced with age.
