“Let’s just make mozzarella and sell it at the local farmer’s market!” So often we start our journey with the simplest of ideas and motivations. Starting a business to follow your passion while crafting an artisan product seems straightforward enough. Rynn will focus on what it takes to stay true to your craft even through the roadblocks that threaten to veer you off course. Making those unexpected “right-hand turns” can produce exciting results and enrich your journey in ways you never intended or imagined. Rynn Caputo is Owner & CEO of Caputo Brothers Creamery in Spring Grove, PA. After attending culinary school in Calabria, Italy, Rynn and her husband David spent several months traveling throughout each region of Italy from a food and wine perspective. But it wasn’t until they returned to the U.S. that their dream of creating artisan, Italian-style cheeses was born in 2011. Rynn has led the company’s rapid growth from a small creamery in their home to a state-of-the art facility with nationwide distribution. Besides cheese production, Caputo Brothers Creamery also operates a retail store, restaurant space, and leads multiple culinary tours to Italy each year. With a goal to revolutionize the mozzarella industry, Rynn continues to educate consumers and share her knowledge of and passion for traditional, cultured Italian cheese. She is a champion for animal welfare and a better living wage for local farmers during this time of crisis for our Pennsylvania dairies.
