Our Story:</b></div>

Leprino&rsquo;s history dates back to the 1950s, when Jim Leprino first started making small batches of mozzarella for local markets and eateries in the Little Italy neighborhood of Denver. We&rsquo;ve grown a bit since then. Today, Leprino is the world&rsquo;s largest manufacturer of mozzarella and lactose, and a leading producer of whey protein. Still owned by the Leprino family, our sights are set to be the &ldquo;World&rsquo;s Best Dairy Food and Ingredient Company.&rdquo; From a small corner grocery store we have grown to over 5,500 employees throughout the globe. Will you join us on our journey?</div>
