History & Commitment
Upon arriving in this beautiful land, we were captivated by what we saw: The richness of a new country and the land of many opportunities! Many things in our new country were intriguing to us and we reveled in the contrast. While embracing our new culture, we still craved our foods, spices, and our quesos and cremas!

In this great country of many cultures, we longed for authentic products from our homeland. Not finding many, we brought to our new home the knowledge and traditions from our native countries. Finally, our dishes had the authentic home-style flavor that we yearned for!

With a winning combination of old-world traditions and new-world technology, we now bring you the very best that we have to offer! From our home… to be enjoyed in yours. ¡Enhorabuena!

Cacique^© - A Work in Progress
Big things often start small. We were no exception. Cacique® started in a tiny, abandoned facility next to a drive-in dairy in 1973. Starting their day at 2am, our founders produced 100 pounds of cheese each day in that small space, staying true to the old world traditions taught to them in their native land. Today, Cacique® has grown to a 200,000 square foot advanced state-of-the-art computer controlled facility. Only USDA Grade A milk is used to assure the highest standards of purity and quality. In fact, we are one of the most sophisticated cheese manufacturing facilities in the world.

We've come a long way from our humble beginnings, but some things haven't changed. We're still family owned and operated, giving our personal attention to each and every detail, as if it were yesteryear.

Technology Meets Tradition
Two words that seem like they don't mix. But, at our facility, technology and tradition do embrace. Cutting-edge manufacturing methods and state-of-the-art computerization create products of such authenticity that it compliments our heritage!

You wouldn't give your family anything but the best, right? Since we think of our consumers as family, we use nothing but the best to make our cheeses and creams. That means the exclusive use of Grade A milk.

Research & Development: A Tireless Quest for the Best
We believe "the best" can always be better. Our Research and Development Department does just that. They find new ways to improve on our already outstanding quality, striving to make us surpass… well, us! Our Research and Development team stays on the road to discovery, constantly generating new and innovative ideas that extend our distinguished line, such as Yonique®, The Yogurt You Drink™.

Our Large and Proud Family
That we are. Our family of employees is almost 500 strong. We're proud because the status that we have worked so hard to attain, we now possess: Market Leader in Fresh Hispanic Cheeses Worldwide and the #1 selling brand of fresh Mexican-type cheeses and creams in the world.
