Steve Siudzinski was born and raised on a farm near Denmark, Wisconsin. At the age of 12, he decided to become a cheesemaker and some day own his own cheese factory. In 1913 he entered the employment of a Belgian cheesemaker, who taught him the arts of cheese making and emphasized the importance of quality methods not only in the plant but on the farm as well.

In 1916, Steve started to operate the Langes Corner's Cheese Factory and later changed the name to Steve's Cheese. A remodeling and expansion program was started in 1930 and continued through the years.

Steve built a reputation for quality through hard, intelligent work and insistence on quality from his patrons. In addition to a steady consumer demand for his products, Steve's quality standards won him widespread recognition in cheese scoring contests throughout the country. He received the International Gold Medal, First at the National Dairy Show in 1931, the Governor's Trophy in 1934 and 1944 and numerous Grand Champion and Blue Ribbon awards at local fairs.

Steve kept up to date in merchandising and production. In 1935 Steve was the first cheesemaker to package natural cheese in a rindless package, a venture which required several years to perfect. In 1934, as a promotional venture he made the first of many mammoth cheeses; a 2,000 and a 3,800 pound mammoth. Through the years, he made thousands of 500 pound mammoths, hundreds of 1,000 pound mammoths, over fifty mammoths weighing over 5 tons each and several weighing over seven tons. He climaxed this type of production in 1964 with the making of the World's Largest Cheese weighing 34, 591 pounds. This cheese was made for the Wisconsin Exhibit at the World's Fair.

This is a brief history of the man behind Steve's Cheese and many individuals, merchants, hotels and restaurants continually request the finest cheeses bearing the name...STEVE'S CHEESE.
