| Polly-O String Cheese: It's a Kid Thing |

Mozzarella string cheese -- kids can peel it and bite it, twist it and taste it. They can take it wherever they go, and go everywhere with it. It's a snacking cheese that's just right for active youngsters.

It was 1899, and the promise of a new century inspired Giuseppe Pollio to make the journey from his native Italy to America. His passport to a livelihood was the Pollio family legacy as skilled master cheesemakers.

With his young son Albert, Giuseppe began making ricotta and mozzarella cheeses on a deserted beach in Coney Island, New York, using the open fire method long employed by Italian cheesemakers.

From that determined beginning, the family's cheesemaking enterprise grew into a specialty Italian cheese shop that supplied other stores and restaurants in the New York City area. In the 1940s, the Pollio family began packaging mozzarella and other Italian-style cheeses especially for the consumer market with the new, easy-to-say POLLY-O® brand name. The company has been providing the highest-quality, authentic-tasting Italian cheeses to homes and restaurants alike for nearly 100 years.
