Our Story
It all began in 1882…
Breakstone’s originated in Manhattan’s Lower East Side when two brothers from Lithuania opened a store with the goal of bringing quality dairy to their neighborhood.
Breakstone's Journey
Craft Takes Time.
Since our beginning, we’ve been dedicated to bringing the highest quality dairy right to your table.
Becoming a Household Name
By the early 1900’s
The Breakstone’s brothers had become pioneers in high quality dairy, making their fresh, expertly-crafted products easily accessible and convenient.
Using new innovations, we transformed household dairy in NYC and beyond.
Expanding our Expertise
Moving Upstate
To meet growing demands for their dairy expertise, the family moved production upstate to Walton, NY, where the Breakstone’s tradition lives on today.
Entering a New Era
Snack Time Innovation
Lifestyles and eating occasions have changed but we always stayed true to the Breakstone brother's original mission to make high quality dairy accessible to all.
Which is why in the 1990s we revolutionized the dairy scene yet again, introducing cottage cheese in single-serve snack formats.
True Innovators
Transforming Dairy
Our pioneering excellence continued as we innovated with flavorful additions to fit new tastes and lifestyles - creating Cottage Doubles to introduce cottage cheese to a whole new cohort of consumers looking for a delicious & fruity snack.
