   Tropical Cheese began as the dream of Rafael Mendez. Born in Las Villas, Cuba, Mendez is the youngest of seven children. His family owned and operated a small cafeteria business on the island, where he often helped his father in his free time. In 1982, Tropical Cheese Industries was established at its current headquarters in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Over the years, Tropical has grown and expanded into new cities and territories throughout the U.S, Caribbean, Central and South America, and Europe. Today, Tropical is proud to be one of the leading producers and distributors of Latino targeted dairy products in the United States.After 40 years, Tropical Cheese remains the favorite cheese of so many Hispanic households because of our attention to detail and authenticity. Our state of the art manufacturing facility is SQF Level 2 and HACCP certified. We use the finest natural ingredients and employ award-winning cheese makers from around the world, who have developed their craft over generations. We pride ourselves in making fresh cheeses and dairy products just like the ones our consumers remember enjoying in their native countries. First, second, and third generation Hispanics also choose Tropical because they grew up with our products in their homes.MORE QUESO. MORE LOVE!
