In 1973, Cuban immigrants Gilbert de Cardenas and his wife Jennie took their life savings and began selling homemade queso fresco store-to-store out of their car. Over fifty years later, Cacique Foods is still a family-owned company committed to crafting high-quality, delicious Mexican-style cheeses, chorizos, and cremas. Cacique offers a wide range of products that preserve authentic cultural flavors and bring families together. During Hispanic Heritage Month and every day, Cacique proudly celebrates the vibrant traditions of the Latino community and supports their four pillars of Family, Integrity, Quality and Authenticity.
