How to build a Di Bruno Bros. cheese board. The only thing easier than making one is eating one. Variety is key to a tempting cheese board - variety of flavor (salty, sweet, sour) and variety of texture (creamy, crunchy, firm, unctuous), and variety of color (creamy white, meaty red, golden apricot) - but the secret ingredient is fun. Have fun, get creative, and experiment, knowing every cheese board is a delight! Crostini: Add crunch (and a place to put the cheese!) - a mix of our Olive Oil, Sea Salt, Garlic, Rosemary, and Parmesan flavors are all you need. Cheeses: Make the board sing. Look for different types - here French Brie. Italian Pecorino Romano, and Vermont Bayley Hazen Blue bring creamy, firm, and pungent to the table. Cheese Spreads: Like our Pinot Grigio & Fig add more flavor and creaminess. Salumi: Such as prosciutto, coppa. or speck brings a hit of satisfying umami to the party. Artisanal Jams: Balance out all the savory with a bit of sweet - try our Orange-Grappa, Fig-Acacia or Strawberry-Prosecco versions. Fruits & Nuts: Fill in the snappy, colorful spots - here fresh grapes and dried apricots add color and our Black Lava Cashews do what they always do: make everyone smile with their crunchy pop. Welcome to our table! Di Bruno Bros. has been bringing delicious culinary discoveries to Philadelphia since 1939, when Danny and Joe Di Bruno opened a grocery store in the heart of what is now Philadelphia's famed Italian Market. Like many Italian immigrants in the 1930s, they arrived at Ellis Island in pursuit of the American Dream with strong family ties, an even stronger work ethic, and plenty of both neighborly and entrepreneurial spirit. What set them apart: they were culinary pioneers. Today, their grandsons carry on the tradition Danny and Joe started all those years ago. That culinary pioneer spirit has made Di Bruno Bros. one of the finest specialty retailers in the country. Buon Appetito.
