Lebanon Cheese

Description

• In October of 1929, as the Depression took its toll on the construction industry and the economy, the Lotito Family, consisting of Chris mother and father, Graces mother, Chris, Grace, and their six children packed up their belongings and left Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, NY. They moved to a large single family home, adjoining a run-down building that was to become the birthplace of the Lebanon Cheese Factory, in Lebanon, New Jersey. Their plan: to utilize Chris skill as a salesman and Graces talent as a cheese maker to start a factory to manufacture and sell fresh Italian cheeses throughout New Jersey and New York. Grace and Chris were able to locate the property, which was ideally located along a railroad track and in the heart of farm country. They negotiated a deal with the property owner, Mr. Clark. Chris and Grace would not only rent the property, house, and factory, but they would also refurbish the factory. In exchange, they would receive three months free rent. Chris was often gone for days at a time, but, on the occasions when he was home, he refurbished the factory, as promised. Upon the fourth month, instead of paying that first months rent, the Lotitos purchased the property, house, and factory outright never paying a days rent! During the next four decades, John successfully grew the business with the help of his wife, Selina, and seven sons. Today, Lebanon Cheese is still run with the same attention to quality as our grandparents and parents insisted upon, and service some of the largest bakeries and pasta companies on the East Coast. Three of John and Selinas children currently manage the various aspects of the business, all with a great deal of love and respect for the hard work and ingenuity that went into making it a success for over 80 years and three generations.
