In an exciting milestone for California's artisanal cheese community, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. launched its 25th anniversary celebration at the Specialty Food Association’s Winter Fancy Food Show in Las Vegas. The beloved family- and women-owned dairy and creamery, whose Original Blue cheese has become a culinary icon, is set to make this landmark year unforgettable with special celebratory events throughout 2025.
Founded in 2000 on the Giacomini Family dairy farm in West Marin overlooking Tomales Bay, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. has grown from a small creamery operation to a nationally recognized and multiple award-winning brand, producing some of the most critically acclaimed hand-crafted artisan cheese in the USA. Throughout its journey, including expansion with a second creamery and distribution center in nearby Petaluma, the company has remained steadfast in its founding principles: farming sustainably, producing cheese of unquestionable exceptional quality, and creating new cheese lovers through culinary education and collaboration with longstanding retail and food service partnerships.
Industry trade visiting the Winter Fancy Food Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center Jan 19-21, was invited to join the celebration at booth #712, where Point Reyes Farmstead showcased beloved classics alongside recent new releases that honor a comprehensive 25-year legacy of excellence and innovation.
The anniversary celebration will continue throughout 2025 with a calendar of special activities including consumer tastings and dining events at The Fork (the company's culinary and educational center), tailored promotional campaigns for retail and food service, and online via collaborative partnerships and giveaways, a press release stated.
