Rodolfo Mercurio
Founder, Master Cheese Maker

Being of Southern Italian descent, I have always been surrounded by the authentic and fine art of making mozzarella. Still till this day I remember the feeling that overcame me from the first time I tasted fresh mozzarella. I fell in love with the process from start to finish. Fortunately, I was blessed to have been taught this art form by my family, it is a tradition that has been passed down for 100s of years. Without hesitation, I felt it was my calling to take this art and bring it to the wonderful San Diego. Being inspired by my culture and family I wanted to add some modern twists to this old world tradition. I have set out to provide a unique, fine quality artisan experience while bringing southern Italian culture to the community of San Diego. I began my cheese making career near the city of Napoli, Italy. living there for 2 years I developed my skills in the fine art of cheese making. Coming back to the states and working as a mozzarella cheese master in various places, I continue to refine my craft after 8 years of experience.
