A Taste of Italy, a popular vendor at Soo Market, offers a variety of specialty cheeses and meats, including gluten-free options and natural nitrates. The family-run business, owned and operated by Steve Casagrande, caters to cheese and meat lovers, providing free samples and pre-packaged options for convenience. With a focus on quality and customer service, A Taste of Italy has become a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
“A lot of the products that A Taste of Italy carries are not available in local grocery stores,” said A Taste of Italy owner/operator Steve Casagrande chatting with SooToday.
“We carry a natural line of meats, called naturalismo, with celery and cherry powder for people who are cautious about nitrates. It’s a naturally occurring nitrate,” Casagrande said.“We sell prosciutto, salami, cacciatore, capicola, we have a lot of Italian staple meats. We offer pre-packaged samples because outside the market there are apartment buildings with a lot of seniors.
Saturday’s sample was Dutch Maasdam cheese, described as a fast-ripening cheese with a nutty and sweet flavour.Born in Italy, Casagrande moved to Canada with his family at a young age. “I worked at Rico's Foods and my wife Sherry was a meat manager at Metro for several years before she retired,” Casagrande said.
