Rumiano Organic Parmesan Cheese, Loaf, Organic

Description: The Rumiano Cheese Company is committed to sustainability, supporting the local community with a quality workplace and an environmentally friendly operation. In addition to using all milk components, Rumiano Cheese strives to be sustainable in all other aspects of its cheese production. Our goal is to achieve a zero-waste target by recycling water, cardboard, plastic and wood, and reducing its paper usage by going digital. All the dairies providing milk to Rumiano are within a 100-mile radium, reducing the carbon dioxide output from our milk trucks to the environment and limiting the use of fossil fuels. We use a proprietary Microbial Coagulant. This is a Microbial Coagulant from the fungi Rhizomucor miehei (aka Mucor miehei) and is a species of fungus commercially used to produce enzymes that can be used to curd the milk to produce cheese. We do not use Chymosin (or Chymax) as it is NOT allowed in Organic and is on the National Organic Program prohibited substance list as being GMO. The milk used to create Rumiano Cheese, Butter, Ghee and Whey Protein Concentrate-80% is sourced from 19 certified, organic family dairies within an 85-mile radius of our production facility in Crescent City, CA. No vaccines are allowed to be used with any cows that are being milked. If a cow receives a vaccine, that cow is taken out of the milking line. Sincerely, Rumiano Cheese Company Summary: In addition to using all milk components, Rumiano Cheese strives to be sustainable in all other aspects of its cheese production.
