Kurt Heitmann

Kurt has long been committed to excellence. Since joining Alto Dairy in 1972, he’s kept up with cheesemaking trends by taking courses at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His upbringing on a dairy farm taught him to relish a challenge, like trying different ‘make’ processes for his cheeses. As a result, Kurt has his Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker® certifications in cheddar, mozzarella, Colby and Monterey jack. (Master Cheesemaker Certified in Cheddar, Colby, Monterey Jack, Mozzarella)

Allan Scott

Allan’s devotion to cheesemaking took a few years to blossom. He didn’t grow up in a cheesemaking family, so it took a high school job to really develop a passion for the craft. Since then, Allan has lived that passion to its fullest, and is now a Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker® certified in mozzarella and provolone. (Master Cheesemaker Certified in Mozzarella, Provolone)

Gregg Palubicki

Gregg has been devoted to the art of cheesemaking for more than 30 years. In particular, he’s pursued perfection in cheddar and Colby since the 1970s, and is now certified in both. Gregg’s affinity for cheesemaking is evident in his role as Cheese Technical Services Coordinator at Saputo. (Master Cheesemaker Certified in Cheddar, Colby)

Ken DeMaa

A part-time job during high school at Alto Dairy launched Ken’s cheesemaking career. After graduating, he took on a full-time position and more responsibility, so he went back to school for his cheesemaking license. Ken now works at Saputo Cheese, holding Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker® certifications in cheddar and mozzarella. (Master Cheesemaker Certified in Cheddar, Mozzarella)
