The Monteverde Cheese Factory has played an integral role in the development of the Monteverde community since the 1950s, when a group of American Quakers arrived on the scene and began farming dairy cattle. They opened the factory in 1953, using the milk from their own farms to produce about 10 kg of cheese per day. Within two years, their reach had expanded to nearby, non-Quaker farms, whose milk was used to make an increasing amount of cheese. This was an important step in this rural economy, as it helped generate a living for many of the farmers and families living in the central highlands of Costa Rica Must try their Ice Cream!
