  Cheesemakers:

  The Roth family started making cheese in Switzerland. In the early 1900s, the family founded a company in the US to import European cheeses. In 1991, three of the Roth family cousins re-focused the company on cheesemaking. Roth Käse is now best known for its traditional Swiss-style cheeses, such as Gruyere, made by traditional methods. This includes using authentic copper vats and special wood curing shelves. The facility even resembles a Swiss Chalet.
