Honoring the Memory of
Lioni Latticini Co-Founder
1949 - 2024
Salvatore Salzarulo was born in Lioni, Italy on March 26, 1949. Raised there, he joined his father working in the family bread making business. In 1974, Salvatore married his teenage love, Michelina, and soon after began their family in Lioni, Italy.
In 1980, to obtain better medical care for his youngest daughter, Salvatore selflessly immigrated with his family to the US, settling in Brooklyn, New York. With his Uncle Giuseppe, they Co-Founded Lioni Latticini, Inc. and the Salzarulo family began its tradition in the Latticini business. With passion, dedication and hard work, they mastered the art and skill of mozzarella making. Over the next four decades, the Salzarulo family transformed their small neighborhood family business into a nationally renowned manufacturer and distributor of fresh mozzarella products.
Salvatore was hands-on each day making sure that Lioni continued to be of the highest quality and consistency and delivering a traditional fresh mozzarella product as he knew it to be. He was a true visionary, with great determination and a profound heart; an honorable leader who guided with integrity, valor, and respect. His pride for his family, his craft, and his organization will forever resonate.
Five generations of experience and more than 100 years of Italian Family Tradition have created Lioni’s exceptional, all natural, fresh whole milk mozzarella. Here at Lioni we continue our family’s long tradition of Italian cheesemaking to bring our customers an uncompromised, superior, fresh product.
