Cheese has been a part of mankind’s existence for many centuries. There’s no conclusive evidence who created the creamy delight, or even how long the substance has been around.
But on the matter of what company does cheese the best, there’s absolute clarity.
Lotito Foods is that company.
Just take one look at their website and you’ll be in a virtual, perennial, cheese heaven.
From cheese wheels to shredded, they know their dairy.
For those of you who’re lactose intolerant, I suggest you go elsewhere because this review is about to get really cheesy.
Lotito Foods
So what is this Lotito Foods Brand and why do they profess to know so much about cheese?
Lotito Foods is a B2B company owned by Chris Lotito. It is a SQF Certified, multimillion-dollar, 100-year-old, third-generation family business that is known for importing cheese and Italian specialty foods.
Now if it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill, ask yourself, how good can someone become at something with 100 years of practice?
Extremely good.
Lotito Foods packages their mastery by specializing in developing private-label food products and providing food services for other businesses, namely restaurants.
They artfully produce over 2,000 savory items that include cheese wheels, wedges, grated shredded, shaved, cubed and sliced, as well as specialty foods.
This is the type of output that manifests from 100 years of practice.
But Lotito Foods doesn’t just offer cheese, they’ve recently ventured into Italian specialty product lines that include foods such as sundered tomatoes, cured meats, and spreads.
Some of the biggest restaurant chains are purchasers of Lottitos cheeses, one of which includes Olive Garden.
This means that if you’ve ever been to a restaurant and were enraptured in the ecstasy produced by tasting a cheese glazed item, it was probably a product of Lotito Foods.
What makes Lotito’s Foods such a behemoth in the world of cheese has to do with the variety offered through their brands.
Virtually every type of cheese you can think of is offered by this company, which translates to market domination.
Brands
Lotito Foods have 3 main brands under their belt: Folito, Supreme, and Gabriella.
The newest of these brands is Folito, but it’s sure not to be the last, given the track record of Lotito.
These brands are differentiated by details such as design, type of cheese, or the area which they are imported.
Folio
Folio is the newest brand of cheese offered by Lotito’s Foods. Folio makes it’s distinction from the rest of the brands by way of creativity. Folio takes the form of par-baked sheets of natural artisan chess that are made from parmesan, cheddar, and Jarlsberg.
Folio’s came about as a way to solve a market problem. One of Lotito’s customers asked if they could ship parmesan crisps crackers made of cheese instead of wheat, due to wheat being so brittle
Folio was the answer to this dilemma.
These products can be molded into cup-like cheese structures that can be used in a number of recipes. Some of these includes:
-Crisps
-Turkey Wraps
-Chilli Bowls
-Spaghetti Bowls
More recipes are available on their site. I highly encourage any restaurateur to take a look and get more creative in the kitchen.
Suprema
Suprema is yet another brand owned by Lotito’s Foods. They specialize in 2 types of cheeses: Romano and Parmesan.
This type of cheese is great to use on dishes like:
-Parmesan Crusted corn on the cob
-Parmesan Nots
-Chicken Alfredo
-Gourmet Mushroom Risoto
Garbiella
The brand Gabriella offers fine aged imported artisan cheese from Italy. It includes the following cheeses: Pecorino Romano, Grana Padno, Parmigiano Reggiano, Piacentinu Ennese, Tri Colore Aromatico, Primo Sale, etc.
The form of cheese Gabriella makes is cheese wheels, loaves, wedges, chunks, sliced, shredded, etc.
Gabriella can be used on dishes such as: pasta, pizza, balsamic chicken, lasagna, mozarella sticks, etc.
Conclusion
Lotio Foods are the king in the cheese world, and for good reason.
Due to their innovation, and dedication to quality, they have stood the test of time and grown into a multimillion dollar company.
Lotito Foods have proven that they’re a force in the world of cheese, and they’re definitely here to stay.
