Cheese Brothers
We’re Eric Ludy and Gene Graf, co-founders of Cheese Brothers. We’re two guys from Wisconsin with a passion for great cheese. You could say it’s in our blood. Eric’s great grandfather, a Swiss cheesemaker named Fred Ludy, started the families’ first cheese factory in Wisconsin in 1919. Gene learned the trade from Tom Ludy, Eric’s dad. We’re not brothers by birth, but ever since we launched our company in 2015, we’ve been bonded by the brotherhood of cheese. Since 2020, our online store has seen rapid growth, emerging from just a few hundred sales in 2019 to over $3 million in sales in 2021.
