About Peacock Cheese
Peacock Cheese boasts a rich history that began in 1946 as a small family-owned dairy creating fresh and distinctive cheeses. While the company has since ceased cheese production, it identified a rising demand for gourmet cheeses in California. Since 1986, Peacock Cheese has transformed into one of California's leading suppliers of gourmet cheese and wine to specialty food retailers, restaurants, hotels, and cruise lines.
The Filippini family, including Walter, Sylvia, and their son Domenico, is dedicated to maintaining the high-quality standards that Peacock Cheese is renowned for. The company sources exceptional products globally, featuring over 1,000 items, including specialty cheeses, crackers, charcuterie, pâtés, olives, and butters. Offering a diverse selection, Peacock Cheese provides both domestic artisanal products and imports from countries such as Italy, France, Spain, Denmark, Great Britain, Canada and more.
At Peacock Cheese, we prioritize preserving the natural qualities of our cheeses. Rather than vacuum-sealing, which can inhibit the cheese's maturation, we focus on freshly cutting and wrapping our products in perforated sheets. This method allows the cheese to breathe and develop, maximizing its flavor potential.
We distribute throughout Central & Southern California to San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernedino & San Diego Counties.
The Filippini family's enthusiasm for wine shines through at their Le Vigne Winery in Paso Robles, California. With a legacy of pairing wine and cheese, Le Vigne Winery is celebrated for its artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, and olives. Visitors can enjoy wine and cheese pairings any day throughout the year. Southern California residents can visit our satellite tasting room, LVLA located in Los Angeles, CA. Open Wednesday-Sunday.
We hope this website serves as a valuable resource, introducing you to new products and enhancing your appreciation for the gourmet offerings we provide.
