About LOLETA CHEESE FACTORY

Located conveniently off highway 101, Loleta Cheese Factory has been around since 1982, producing some of the Nations best varieties of cheeses. Each variety of cheeses found at Loleta Cheese Factory is always hand-crafted to perfection from start to beginning. The long and traditional process of making cheese from scratch leaves a perfect finish of creamy and deliciousness, with each bite. Bob, the owner of Loleta Cheese Factory is actually a self taught cheese maker whom has truly mastered the art form, which is obvious when you shop here. At the rate we witnessed in our last visit, the Loleta Cheese Factory is producing well over 5,000 pounds of cheese, each day. Let that sink in for a minute, it's extremely impressive and shines on the success this spot has earned over time. Bob also owns and farms his own cows, so the milk used to make the cheese at Loleta Cheese Factory always local and daily fresh, organic and pure. Loleta Cheese Factory essentially make all sorts of cheeses imaginable, however some of our favorites include the Jack Cheese or the popular Habanero Jack Cheese for those whom prefer a bit of a kick as we do. However, we are saddened to announce that in 2019, after a 38 year run Loleta Cheese Factory was forced to close down. Even with well over 65,000 tourists each and every year, they were forced in to foreclosure. Bob and Carol Laffranchi will always be remember for creating this spot and will be missed tremendously.
