About
Since 1953, Sargento has been driven by a simple yet powerful mission: to bring real, natural cheese to American families. What started as a small cheese business in Plymouth, Wisconsin has grown into one of the largest privately held food companies in the United States, with net sales exceeding $1.8 billion annually. The company was founded by Leonard Gentine and Joseph Sartori with a commitment to quality that has been passed down through three generations of family ownership. Today, Sargento manufactures and markets an extensive range of natural cheese products, including shredded, sliced, and snack cheeses, as well as ingredients for food service and industrial applications. The company is renowned for its innovation in the dairy case, having pioneered numerous industry firsts that have revolutionized how consumers experience cheese. Sargento's vision to be the most innovative, best-loved real food company continues to guide its product development and business strategy. The company has earned recognition from Fast Company as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies, with its innovations adding over $1 billion in sales to the natural cheese category.
