75 years of authentic cheese making in Italy, a tradition brought and produced in the U.S.A

At the origin lies a simple observation: to have the freshest quality of cheese, one should not import the cheese, but the cheese makers. Based on this insight, Angelo Tartaglia and Franco Russo decided to cross the Atlantic from Bagnoli Irpino, in the South of Italy, to establish themselves in Los Angeles. Their objective was simple: produce Italian cheeses to the highest standards using solely local and fully natural products. They follow the original centenary old Bagnoli Irpino recipe – further developed and mastered over three generations by Franco’s family business – but produce everything from their Los Angeles based factory. It is through this mix of cultures and countries, tradition and local implementation, that our two artisans are able to bring you some of the best mozzarella and ricotta cheese in the world.

Fresh, simple, and made the way it should be. 🤍🌿

Creamy Angelo & Franco ricotta, a touch of basil, a little cracked pepper, and nothing hiding the quality of the cheese.

Sometimes the best bites are the simplest ones.

You could eat boring today.
But why would you?

Fresh ingredients. Real Italian mozzarella. A crust with some personality. And a pizza that somehow makes greens look like the best decision you’ve made all day.

My favorite direction:

What if eating well didn’t mean giving up the good stuff? 🇮🇹

Fresh burrata. Creamy ricotta. Real ingredients. Made with the kind of tradition that believes food should be simple, beautiful and worth slowing down for.

Because maybe “healthy” isn’t about eating less of what you love.
Maybe it’s about choosing better.
