Mark Frederico and Louella Hill had a cheese epiphany in 2007, and partnered to expand Mark’s cheese selection, selling them at farmers’ markets and specialty food stores around Providence. Mark had been making cheese for years but had only been selling it to wholesalers. When he and Louella connected, she had been thinking that Rhode Island was desperately in need of an in-state artisan cheesemaking facility. As soon as she discovered that it already existed, she went to work with Mark and Pattie, his wife and co-owner, to get their products directly into the hands of consumers. Milk for all Narragansett products comes from a local coop that pools milk from a number of farms. These dairy farms make every effort to keep cows on pasture whenever weather permits. Narragansett has focused on getting out of the way of the flavors inherent in the milk they use. They produce a wide range of products from yogurt through to alpine-style cheeses aged over a year.
