Crescent City – Willows, Calif – Rumiano Cheese Company, makers of the world’s first
certified non-GMO organic cheese and an innovator in organic cheesemaking, announced the
launch of its new line of organic and nutritious cheese dips, beginning with Pepper Jack Queso—the
first organic queso available on the market—and Three Cheese Dip, a deliciously creamy, mild and
versatile dip. The non-processed real cheese dips are made with Rumiano’s award-winning cheeses
and will make their debut at Expo West.
Rumiano Cheese Company’s innovative line of organic dips is crafted from pure organic Real California
Milk sourced from pasture-raised Jersey cows on small family farms along California’s scenic Redwood
Coast. Available in 11 ounce containers, each dip is packed with 5 grams of protein per serving and has
no preservatives.
Rumiano Organic Pepper Jack Queso features a velvety texture, combining Pepper Jack and Cheddar
with diced jalapeños and a touch of cumin and garlic. The medium-spice level can add a kick to tacos,
burritos, and burgers, or be served warm with tortilla chips for an epic batch of nachos. Rumiano
Organic Three Cheese Dip is made with a balanced blend of Monterey Jack, Cheddar and Parmesan,
and can be added to cooked vegetables, pasta and eggs, or enjoyed as a dip for crackers and soft
pretzels.
Pepper Jack Queso and Three Cheese Dip will begin arriving in stores this March. At launch, both
products will be available at all 169 Natural Grocers stores in 21 states as well as Nugget, Harmons,
Jimbo’s and Fresh Thyme stores, with a suggested retail price of $7.99.
Rumiano also announced that its Organic Pepper Jack Queso has been selected as a 2025 Expo
West NEXTY Award Finalist. Chosen as one of 161 finalists out of more than 1,000 product submissions,
the 2025 NEXTY Awards winners will be announced at Natural Products Expo West. Trade show
attendees can visit Rumiano Cheese Company at Booth #1825 in Hall B from March 5-7 to sample the
new dips and to learn more.

Certified, Non-GMO Project Verified, and free from pesticides, hormones and antibiotics, the company
