Laura Chenel’s Chèvre MD Marie Lesoudier will take on responsibility for overseeing all activities at Marin, the company said.
“While we have created a tremendous partnership, each company’s operations will remain separate,” says Lesoudier. “Both companies will share their expertise in production, marketing and distribution in order to provide consumers the finest hand-made artisan cheeses from Northern California.”
The deal, which remains subject to closing conditions, is expected to be completed next month.
