Rumiano Organic Shredded Mozzarella, Organic

Our Rumiano Organic Mozzarella is a white, semi-soft cheese with a mild, slightly sweet taste.  It has a stringy, elastic texture and a dense, creamy consistency, which makes it perfect for melting in dishes like pizza, pasta, and sandwiches.  Mozzarella cheese has a high moisture content that gives it a soft and juicy feel in the mouth and is known for its versatility, delicious taste, and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

At Rumiano Cheese, we ar proud to say that our dairies go the extra mile for grass-fed milk production. The mild Northwestern coast of California has prime weather for grazing and pasture time. Year-round access to pastures and naturally growing coastal grasses are imperative to our definition of grass-fed feeding. Open pasture time and natural grazing allow the cows to roam freely make for high-quality milk. Haylage and silage are used for feed when the weather is too wet and cold for pasture time, which is seldom. The grass-feeding methodology benefits the animals and ocnsumers by helping produce healthy and humane dairy products.

Grass-fed and pasture-raised cows allowed to move freely and eat a natural diversified diet are not only much healthier, but we bleieve they seem much happier too! Small-scale farmers who have taken the time to get  to know their cows (many even give themnames) recognize that cows are social being who are happiest when they have room to roam and socialize with others in their herd, which in the end produces a much healthier end product.

The Rumiano Cheese Company is committed to sustainability, supporting the local ocmmunity with a qualit 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 uage by going digital. All the dairies providing milk to Rumiano are within a 100-mile radius, 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
