A Dream Brought
from Italy
to Connecticut
Over 45 years ago, Pasqaule "Lino" Liuzzi immigrated to America with a simple dream: to bring the premium-quality cheeses of his family's Italian traditions to a new audience. Starting modestly in North Haven, CT, that dream became a legacy.
Alongside his brother Nicola, Lino built more than just a business — they built an institution rooted in the flavors and traditions of their hometown in Bari, Italy. Today, the fifth generation of the Liuzzi family carries that same passion — crafting every cheese with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and the same reverence for authenticity the brothers brought from the old country.
Made Fresh. Everyday.

Burrata & Stracciatella
Inside every ball of burrata is the secret: stracciatella — torn curd and cream folded together into something luxuriously soft. Two textures, one tradition.

Fresh Mozzarella & Bufala
Pulled and stretched by hand, our fresh mozzarella carries on a tradition five generations in the making — from cow's milk classics to the rich, indulgent character of authentic Bufala.
