The Art of Cheesmaking 

Rooted in Connecticut and inspired by Italian tradition, our journey began in 1953 with a simple dream: to share the warmth, passion, and authentic taste of Italian cheesemaking with American families.

1953

Founded in Connecticut by Sicilian cheesemaker Joseph Calabro, our story began as a small family-run dairy delivering fresh ricotta.

1981

We expanded to East Haven, CT, opening our 56,000 sq. ft. site to meet growing demand while keeping artisanal methods alive.

2021

Calabro becomes part of Granarolo Group, the most important Italian milk supply chain, blending artisanal heritage with Italian expertise.

2024

Our East Haven facility is renewed with state-of-the-art technology, ensuring quality, safety, and authenticity in every cheese we make.

2026

Calabro embraces a new chapter with a rebranding, introducing a new logo and refreshed packaging honoring our tradition while presenting the same beloved quality in a fresh, contemporary look.

TODAY & BEYOND
Today, as part of Granarolo Group, the most important Italian milk supply, we carry forward that dream,
transforming everyday dishes into moments of pure joy, created with skill and devotion.
