About DCI Cheese
DCI Cheese Company has grown in just over 30 years to become a leading supplier of
American made and imported specialty cheeses. DCI’s unique business model has evolved to
comprise a portfolio of leading company-owned brands, dedicated supplier partnerships and
consolidation capabilities that enable them to offer customized, full-service specialty cheese
programs.
Founded in 1975 to provide marketing support for small to medium-sized specialty food
suppliers, DCI Cheese Company launched its first company-owned brand, Salemville Cheese,
in 1991. The following year, DCI obtained U.S. agent status for the Black Diamond cheese
brand, and has grown that brand from 100,000 pounds sold in 1992 to 70% of the total U.S.
Canadian imported cheddar market.
