We use only the freshest farmstead organic morning milk for our cheese. www.nicasiocheese.com Fred and Zelma raised their five children on this beautiful ranch.

At the age of 17, our grandfather, Fredolino Lafranchi immigrated to America from Maggia, Switzerland, with the dream to one day own and operate his own dairy. In 1919, that dream became reality when Fred and his wife Zelma Dolcini Lafranchi established the Lafranchi Dairy in the western Marin town of Nicasio, California. Their eldest son, Will, our father, continued in the family business, raisin

g us, his 6 children here and living his entire 78 years on this very special land. During his life, Will was able to visit his ancestral homeland a number of times, and developed a special bond with his numerous Swiss relatives. Will and his extended family enjoyed many wonderful meals together, which included a distinctive selection of cheeses handmade by local artisans. The appreciation of these fabulous cheeses left him and us with a longing to enjoy these treats back home. Our family dairy afforded the perfect resource to pay homage to this part of our heritage. Establishing the Nicasio Valley Cheese Company in 2010 has given us the opportunity to bring to reality something our father had only dreamt of. Swiss Master Cheesemaker, Maurizio Lorenzetti has mentored our family in the art of making the cheeses of Valle Maggia to ensure they are as magical here as they are in Switzerland. Our entire Lafranchi family is extremely proud to share our Nicasio Valley Cheese with you! We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

HAPPY NATIONAL BURGER DAY!
In honor of this special day, we are sharing sister Jan's favorite burger recipe with you!

Nicasio Valley Cheese Smash Burgers

You will need:
4 hamburger buns
Toppings and condiments such as:
shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.
1 pound freshly ground beef chuck, we suggest, 80-20 beef
4 slices Nicasio Reserve Cheese or NV San Geronimo Cheese

1. Toast and dress the burger buns.
2. Divide the burger into 4 balls, flatten into patties, and season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a large frying pan on high for 2 minutes. Using a stiff metal spatula, press down on the patties until they are an inch wider than the burger bun- thin out the edges.
4. Cook the patties until they are well browned, about 1 minute. Using the metal spatula, carefully scrape the patties from the pan. Flip, add the cheese, and cook until the cheese melts.
5. Place on burger buns. Serve.
Enjoy!

Have you ever tried our Nicasio Square?
This is our first washed-rind cheese, with a golden-orange rind and a distinctive aroma and flavor, reminiscent of a Taleggio. It has won multiple awards including the Good Food Award!
It pairs beautifully with crisp white wines like Pinot Grigio or dry, fruit-forward red wines like Dolcetto and Pinot Noir.
