About Us

Great Ciao (www.greatciao.com) has been providing chefs and specialty retailers in Minnesota and around the country with artisan produced cheese and other hard to find ingredients since 1995.  Our company is small, focused, and well-suited to bringing together the work of great producers, discerning chefs, and adventurous consumers.  The Great Ciao crew is accustomed to products that come with great stories, have limited availability, and are highly perishable.  And these days, we have our feet on both sides of the producer-distributor fence: Scott Pikovsky, our fearless leader, is finally getting his comeuppance at the farm-turned-sheep-dairy in Glencoe, Minnesota he and his wife Deborah purchased in 2007.  They currently produce about a half dozen types of cheese there.  (More information at www.starthrowerfarm.com.)
