Back in 2005 while honeymooning in Tahiti, Rynn and David Caputo dreamed of quitting their corporate jobs and heading to Italy. Before long, they did, enrolling in a culinary institute in Calabria (a region in southern Italy). While living abroad, the couple ate their way around the country, falling in love with the culture, the lifestyle and especially the cheeses.
When they returned to the States, the Caputos missed that cheese. They also missed the celebration of food essential to Italian cuisine. They wanted to bring that experience to their community in Pennsylvania. The seeds for Caputo Brothers Creamery in Spring Grove were sown.
As a start, David, an aspiring chef, and Rynn, who planned to go back to work in IT, bought a 200 year-old farmhouse in rural York County. Almost immediately, they started searching for a reliable milk source, finding their match at Apple Valley Creamery in nearby East Berlin.
