The Cannoleria brand, developed by Melbourne-based cheese manufacturer That’s Amore Cheese, has expanded to its own independent factory and head office in Heidelberg West.
Launched in 2018, Cannoleria is a cannoli produced with That’s Amore Cheese Ricotta, and due to the brand's popularity, it has outgrown its space within the That’s Amore Cheese factory.
“Being part of the That’s Amore family is fantastic, but it was time for Cannoleria to set up in its own factory that could facilitate further growth,” said Cannoleria co-founder Dario Di Clerico.
“Our new location in Heidelberg West is perfect for us to be able to produce more cannoli, experiment with more flavours and expand the business. The Heidelberg West factory is 500 square metres and currently we work 200 of wheels of ricotta a day.
“For the Cannoleria team, it is important that we always strive to make the very best cannoli. Using only natural ingredients and no artificial colourings or preservatives, we create an endless variety of flavours - which makes us unique.”
Cannoleria opened its first store in South Melbourne Market in September 2018 and was shortly followed by Preston Market, as well as having regular pop-ups in shopping centres.
In May, That’s Amore Cheese won 11 awards at the Dairy Industry Association of Australia Dairy Product Competition, including a silver medal for its Traditional Ricotta.
