In memoriam : Salvatore Salzarulo
February 7, 2024
It is with a heavy heart that we relay the news that Salvatore Salzarulo, Co-Founder of Lioni Latticini, has passed away.
As an obituary read, Salvatore will always be remembered as a political enthusiast, passionate soccer follower, health optimist, and a self-educated, well-read gentleman. He left an indelible mark on all who knew him, he was a true visionary, and an honorable leader with integrity, valor, respect, and compassion.

What Our Customer's Have To Say
5/5
"Lioni 'Burrata con Panna' is the best supermarket brand of burrata I have
found in the States..."
"For over a century, the process of making mozzarella has been a labor of love for Italian cheese makers, and in the tradition of never letting food go to waste, the scraps from making mozzarella were put to good use. This is how burrata was born."

"You have a fan here…Have been disappointed over the years with French and Italian cheeses made here…
This was as good as Italian Stracciatella!!"

In fact, Lioni’s award winning Stracciatella is made from imported Italian panna to produce the most authentic cheese on this side of the Atlantic.”
