As the Italian cheese specialist, ASI offers premium specialty products. ASI is the exclusive importer of premium Buffalo Mozzarella from Garofalo, as well as Mauri D.O.P. Gorgonzola and Taleggio Pasturo. A full description of these products can be found in the “Specialty Cheese Section”.
Eleventh century monks who once handed out bufala mozzarella to pilgrims would be astonished to see a sophisticated operation like Garofalo. It begins with the computerized management of its 3000 bufala herd (solely-owned by Garofalo) and continues with state-of-the-art processing, overseen by master cheese makers. The entire production is supported by scientists assuring quality control and then modern equipment carefully packs the products so gourmets in Italy and abroad can eat the creamy balls of mozzarella, ricotta and butter.
Garofalo mozzarella, a D.O.P. cheese made in the approved zone near Caserta, is truly world-renowned. Its secret is the thin skin and perfect, slightly sour flavor. Garofalo Mozzarella has been exclusively imported by Arthur Schuman Inc. for several years now. This premium mozzarella is experiencing explosive growth.
The history of Mauri cheese is rooted deep in the Lombardy region of Italy where the old world cheese-making tradition of aging cheese in natural grottoes still creates products with exquisite flavor. Expert master craftsmen work diligently to ensure these extraordinary cheeses are made with care to be enjoyed all over the world. ASI exclusively imports Mauri’s delicious D.O.P. Gorgonzola and other aged products including Taleggio and Asiago.
This unique feta from Israel is OU certified Kosher and exclusively imported by ASI.
