Our Story
At Casa Calabria, we're proud to share our family's rich Italian heritage with you. Our story began in Calabria, a region in Southern Italy known for its stunning mountains, beautiful beaches, and rich cultural heritage. Our family's love for good food and tradition dates back to our grandparents, who lived in a small village surrounded by lush gardens and vineyards. Our great-grandfather, a skilled cheesemaker, would make fresh ricotta and mozzarella cheese for the entire village. Our family's passion for good food and wine has been passed down through generations, and we're thrilled to share our family's traditions with you.
