We here at Great
Ciao find it isn’t always easy to talk about ourselves.
So when people ask for an introduction, we usually defer to
the products we carry. Like our taleggio. We think it is unlike
any other to be found this side of Italy. Aged in abandoned
copper mines instead of in the hold of a cargo ship, its delicate
flavor is redolent of fresh baked bread, hints of earth and
copper. Topping that off is a richness and creaminess ensured
by the artisans who hand ladle the curd into the cheese forms.
But the main thing that makes our taleggio special is that
it is exactly like the one you would find on a good friend’s
dinner table in Lombardy. The products on the other thirty
pages of our product list are like this-- simply the elements
of earth and air gathered into the folds of culture and rendered
into the finest and most authentic foods around. And of course,
we get them from there to here in time for you to fully enjoy
their more ephemeral and alluring qualities. In the end finding
the genuine article isn’t as easy as you’d think.
But at Great Ciao the single mindedness of the true believer
always prevails. Don’t rely on faith alone as proof
though: Taste.
