Calabro Cheese once - back in the 1980s - had a small retail cheese store as part of its overall operation. Well, the family has decided to bring the store back and it will be celebrating with a grand opening on March 19th. Calabro Cheese Corporation has been producing premium cheese since 1953. When the East Haven manufacturing plant opened in 1980, founder Joseph Calabro had a small cheese store.

The cheese store has been closed for many years but the Calabro family has decided to restore Joe Calabro's vision. "We still have a very loyal group of residents that have maintained a connection to the plant," nephew and now President Frank Angeloni said. "We want to contribute to the shopping experience here in East Haven again, by giving our community the opportunity to choose from a larger variety of freshly made artisan cheeses, directly on site again."
