Four Generations of Yummmmm!
In the small seaside village of Abruzzi, Italy the D'Eliso family woke to a bright new dawn. The year was 1910. Pop D'Eliso looked forward to realizing his life long dream of prosperity that was rumored to abound in the new world. They were on their way to America!
The move was over before the family knew it and they settled in a very modest, two story, brownstone in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, USA. Many other Italian families had done the same, and so it wasn't long before the D'Eliso family found and joined a local Italian Presbyterian church. The pastor worked tirelessly to provide a refuge where other Italian immigrants could maintain their traditions. Here they formed many solid bonds as, together, they became acclimated to their new surroundings.
It was there, in 1941, in an area known as East Liberty that Pop's middle son, Anthony, met and married the beautiful Columba Faldo. As their family grew they enjoyed the love and traditions that are very much a part of every Italian family. In 1941 Anthony became a baker and cook for the US Army during WWII. After the war ended, in 1943, the call of California was not lost on this soldier boy, turned man. It didn't take long before the D'Eliso family picked up roots and headed to the new "Promised Land". In 1956 with the cry on their lips, "California here we come!" they left Pennsylvania behind.
1961 found Anthony and Columba settled in Whittier, California where they opened the D'Eliso's Bakery. Their daughter, Gloria, and son, Anthony, worked right alongside their parents after school. They assisted with the daily tasks of operating a bakery, working in the kitchen and at the counter as needed. While the family worked side-by-side, in the kitchen baking, the secret family recipes passed from generation to generation. As the young Anthony grew and matured and learned the secrets from his father his love for baking multiplied. As time passed, the elder, Anthony retired and the younger continued on in the baking tradition with the D'Eliso's family bakery.
During the six years that young Anthony was maturing as a baker in his own right, his sister, Gloria, was busy raising a family. It wasn't until after a recent extended family trip to Italy to visit Gloria's grandparent's villages of Abruzzi and Calabria, the family legacy and passion for baking and serving authentic Italian cookies and cakes was once again ignited. The decision was made to fan those flames as the family meandered down the narrow streets of Italy with their youngest daughter, Elizabeth. When once again on American soil they formed My Little Taste of Italy with the promise to bake and serve, with passion, authentic Italian cookies and cakes.
Today, the family owns and operates My Little Taste of Italy, which has become world famous for their authentic treats. When Liz, as Elizabeth came to be known, created her unique recipe for Cappuccino Brownies the news of their rich and creamy, to die for, goodness quickly spread. It wasn't long before Liz's Cappuccino brownies were dubbed "Orgasmic!" by Jan Verhoeff, one of their loyal customers.
Along with the assistance of Gloria's daughter, Liz, and her grandchildren, My Little Taste of Italy fills orders all across the US and has been known to mail their goodies to the soldiers serving overseas as well. Even the smallest, Baby Luke, at a mere 8 months old, was spied with a stirring spoon in his tiny little hand.
They have recently created two new flavors of biscotti that they will packaged in a very unique way for Valentine's Day delivery that can be sent to your soldier as well as to your stateside loved ones. This new offering comes in two flavors; the Grand Marnier dipped in rich, Italian chocolate, and their Spumoni flavored biscotti drizzled with the same. For those that wish to add a little spice to the mix a twist to an old favorite has been created. Florentine cookies have been given a whole new zing with the addition of chocolate chips, espresso beans and cayenne pepper to the standard slivered almonds. This alternative Valentine special has been aptly named "Hot Mommas" and is sure to spice up your loved ones life.
What sets My Little Taste of Italy apart is not just the true old world recipes but the added touch created by their imaginative presentation. Their Valentine package, I am told, will be packed in with an assortment of fun items like wedding favor bubbles and wax lips. "I am sure this gift pack will spark the fire in your loved one this Valentine's Day" states Gloria.
