Rancho Meladuco began decades ago with just four Medjool date palms on a family ranch in California's Coachella Valley, planted long before it was a business. When the trees started bearing fruit, the family shared it with friends and neighbors — and the response was strong enough that founder Joan Smith, a mother of three and former accountant, decided to farm dates in earnest, launching Rancho Meladuco in 2015. The Coachella Valley's hot days, cool nights, and dry climate closely mirror the date palm's native Middle Eastern growing conditions, making it the source of nearly all Medjool dates grown in the U.S. Every Rancho Meladuco date is still hand-harvested and hand-packed on the family farm using traditional methods, yielding a soft, rich, almost caramel-like fruit true to its Coachella Valley roots.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
Carefully packaged and shipped from our Beverly Hills shop.
