Di Bruno Bros Employs The Highest Number of Certified Cheese Pros In The Nation

• There are only 406 Certified Cheese Professionals in the entire world.
•  Nine of them are here in Philadelphia, working at Di Bruno Bros.
• And what exactly is a Certified Cheese Professional, you may ask?
• Also known as CCPs, Certified Cheese Professionals are cheese experts who have gone through the cheese certification program sponsored by the American Cheese Society and have then passed the 3-hour, 150-question test. 

The test includes questions on the chemistry of cheese production, display building, animal care, HACCP plans, cheese pairings and much more. Not only is the test content-intensive, but it costs hundreds of dollars to take.

And yet still, Philadelphia's own Di Bruno Bros has 9 of the world's total supply of CCPs working in their cheese department--the highest concentration of CCPs in the nation by any independent retailer. And if that isn't impressive enough, all Di Bruno Bros' CCPs passed the exam on their first attempt.
