A group of cheesemakers, retailers, scientists and supporters of Pennsylvania-made cheese have joined together to create a guild in support of the growing artisan industry in the state.
The proposed mission of the guild is to “promote the highest standards of cheesemaking and celebrate the diversity of the cheese community in Pennsylvania through partnerships, outreach and education,” according to the guild’s website.
“The formation of this guild excites me because I know that there are some great things that are being accomplished in our area and I also believe that if you are going to be able to get better in such a niche industry such as craft/artisanal cheese there needs to be a strong voice to be able to ask for help and to get help,” says Emilio Mignucci, Vice President of DiBruno Brothers. “I am encouraged because I see some glimpses of really great cheese making local to me in Philly and I want to represent and bring these local treasures to our customer base who are really interested in supporting local.”
