Private investment firm Tilia Holdings LLC has acquired Caputo Cheese from Promus Equity Partners, effective June 30, 2025. The Melrose Park, Ill.-based Caputo makes Italian cheeses, providing customized aging, flavor formulation, blending and packaging services to foodservice, CPG and retail customers, as well as private label.
Natale Caputo, son of founder Pasquale Caputo, will continue to lead the company, the release noted. Caputo expects the partnership with Tilia will help it expand its reach and take the business to the next level.
Tilia looks to capitalize on what it called Caputo’s “terrific momentum expanding its presence nationally,” as well as growing consumer demand for premium Italian cheeses for toppings and inclusions.
