At JeanMarie Markets, our passion delivering the most inspiring flavors from the end of the world in Patagonia, Chile began more than 14 years ago. In 1999, cousins Marcelo and Manuel traveled to Puerto Mont, Chile near the renowned Patagonia growing region, and purchased a small cheese factory. With its first cheese harvest in 2000, the Contreras Family produced three tons of cheese, beginning a long and fruitful history as one of Chile's leading producers of artisan cheeses.
