History:

The year was 1901, and the Trojan Prince passenger ship sailed in to beautiful and legendary Ellis Island. After months on board, Antonio Esposito Bressi emerged from the ships hull to be greeted by New York city and a sight of the statue of liberty. He had temporarily left his wife and children in his hometown of Isca Sullo Ionio (Reggio Calabria Italy) to get settled in their new home.

-Above: The Trojan Prince brought our family to America-

After working in the blast mines of central PA to pay his ships fair, the entire family came to America. From that point on, his sites were set on the creation of Bressi's Market in Kulpmont, PA. This store would build upon the tastes and cultures of the people of Calabria, and later, the people of Europe in general.

If the store could speak it would have a tremendous amount to say. It has seen multiple wars, the collapse of communism, man landing on the moon, various presidents, the depression, Kennedy being shot in Dallas and a host of other historical events. Our history is rich---just like our aged products.

Finocchiona Salami

Finocchiona supposedly owes its origins to a local thief at a fair near the town of Prato, who stole a fresh salami and hid it in a stand of wild fennel (Finocchio). When he returned for it he discovered it had absorbed the beautiful aromas of its hiding place and had become fit for the Gods. Naturally—our Tuscan Salami focuses on fennel and has a very nice, rich flavor.
