"Queso Santa Maria is a partnership of individuals dedicated to providing jobs within the local communities of Cochise County. We intend to purchase as many raw materials needed from local businesses, thereby creating more jobs in their businesses as well. We also intended to contribute back to the communities as much as we can, whenever we can, in the form of financial support, donated services or materials," said John Oberreuter.
Queso Santa Maria is funded by PPEP and private local funds.
Queso Santa Maria will be producing Mexican-style gourmet cheeses: Queso Fresco, Panela and Cotija. More varieties will also be introduced in the future, as will other Mexican-style foods.
