Chihuahua Cheese Maker Expands Market to Southwestern U.S.

A cheese company based in Villa López, Chihuahua, with over 32 years of operation, has expanded its market presence to include the southwestern United States. The company, led by Leticia Rosario Amador, focuses on the production of fresh cheese, asadero cheese, and cottage cheese, using only natural ingredients.

The company sources its milk from local producers in Coronado, Allende, and Villa López, ensuring high-quality raw materials. This local supply chain not only boosts the regional economy but also ensures the dairy plant receives high-quality milk. The milk undergoes a strict pasteurization process to meet health and safety standards.

The company employs a 'clean label' approach, using 100% natural milk without chemical additives or vegetable fats. This traditional manufacturing process has helped the brand maintain consumer loyalty amidst competition from mass-produced industrial options.

These cheeses are gaining popularity in northern Mexico, particularly in high-density markets such as Torreón and Monterrey. The company has also developed an informal yet profitable export channel to the United States, catering to the demand for nostalgic foods with geographic identity.

By integrating local dairy supply with traditional processing methods, the cheese maker has established a sustainable business model. The company's future growth will rely on formalizing export logistics and standardizing production volumes to compete in the global market.
