Our Story
Our rich legacy traces its roots back five generations to 1826 in the Puglia region of Italy. Founded by Pasquale (Lino) Liuzzi, and his brother, Nicola Liuzzi, visionaries from the fourth generation, our journey began over forty-five years ago when Lino immigrated to the United States. Lino harbored a dream of establishing a distinguished enterprise focused on crafting premium-quality cheeses and fine foods, inspired by the traditions initiated by his great-grandfather in the charming town of Noci, within the province of Bari, Italy.
TRANSFORMATION OF A VISION
The Liuzzi Brothers, manifested their dream by establishing Liuzzi Cheese in the U.S., showcasing the family's fourth generation. With unwavering belief, they established Liuzzi Market in North Haven, CT, a modest beginning that has flourished over the past three decades. Our business has been nurtured by the collective efforts of family and close friends, and today, we proudly serve the local community with exceptional products reminiscent of our Italian heritage. Our Artisan cheese is meticulously crafted with the highest quality standards, utilizing only fresh ingredients sourced from local farms.
A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE
Over the past five years, as successive generations of Liuzzi's have joined our thriving family business, we have expanded our presence to commercial and various retail outlets nationwide, upholding the ethical standards set by our patriarchs, Lino and Nicola. We remain dedicated to providing the same level of quality and product assurances that have garnered the trust and appreciation of our original loyal customers. The evident love and devotion within our family enable us to channel our efforts toward realizing our father's pioneering goals and ideals, translating them into our own accomplishments.
