Lioni Latticini

Union, NJ


The Salzarulo family began its tradition in the Latticini business in the town of Lioni, Italy many decades ago. In 1980, the family brought its fine art of cheese-making to Brooklyn, New York where it created a name for itself making fresh, whole milk mozzarella cheese. Within the past three decades, the Salzarulos have transformed their small neighboorhood, family business into a nationally renowned manufacturer and distributor of fresh mozzarella in the United States.

Today, Lioni is still a family owned and operated business that holds onto old Italian values and traditions, but now utilizes modern technology and computer-monitored equipment imported from Italy.

Lioni's success would not be a reality if it was not for the family's traditional cheese-making skills, its dedication to premium quality, innovative production methods, and its outstanding customer relations retained even in this fast-paced, modern world.
