The story
BelGioioso was founded in 1979 by Errico Auricchio, whose great-grandfather had founded Auricchio in 1877, a prominent cheese manufacturer in Naples, Italy. Errico Auricchio started the company in Denmark, Wisconsin, producing provolone in a rented cheese plant in Wrightstown, Wisconsin.
In 2021, Belgioioso Cheese agreed to purchase Polly-O from Groupe Lactalis, as a requirement by the US Department of Justice's antitrust review of Lactalis's purchase from Kraft Heinz.
Today, the company produces twenty-eight varieties of cheese.
