It all started in Mexico with a well known cheese called - cotija. Twenty-three years ago,
Raul and Gloria Andrade entered the dairy industry when they began importing cotija
cheese from Mexico to the United States. They saw a wonderful opportunity to move their business to the states and offer it to a promising market due to the increasing need for the production of this type of cheese in Southern California. It was then in 1981 when they started their first company and co-founded Cotija in Los Angeles, California. Later, in
1989, Los Altos Food Products was solely founded in City of Industry. The name derives from the most popular and successful cheese region in Mexico, Los Altos Jalisco.

Now, more than two decades later, this small family business has grown into a well
established family business with over 100 employees and more than 10 delicious
dairy products. Our dedicated staff at Los Altos is committed to the Mexican business
philosophy – family and quality first… everything else will fall in place. We are proud to
be a part of your family.
