Three generations of the Janis & Melanie family gathered together at a patio table with cheese straws and wine, celebrating the family recipe that started it all.

Our Story

Three generations, one family, one beloved recipe. Jamie took her grandmother's cheese straw recipe and turned it into Janis & Melanie — a business her children now run. Nearly 40 years later, we still use real butter, real cheese, and simple ingredients, nothing artificial, because for us, food has always meant love.
