Emilio Mignucci is the third generation owner at the local store in Philadelphia, Di Bruno Brothes. He has helped to grow the family business from one small store to what it is today; a company with five gourmet retail stores with an artisan cheese focus, three craft producer wine and beer bottle shops, a successful e-commerce and gifting business, a busy import, distribution and manufacturing business, a growing catering and events operation and an independent commissary kitchen supplying a myriad of house made foods using the unique in store ingredients keeping Di Bruno Bros at the forefront of specialty food retailing.
He loves telling the stories of the makers behind the products. His expertise and passion for food has helped him to grow Di Bruno Bros. cheese offering from 50 varieties to well over 600 cheeses from all over the world. He helped write the esteemed Certified Cheese Professional Exam—the highest standard for cheese professionals. In 2010, the Italian Trade Commission acclaimed Emilio for “Distinguished Service” for importing, representing, and educating on Italian Food and Culture. The James Beard Foundation also honored him for his help in making Philadelphia a world class food city. In 2015, Emilio proudly helped launch The Good Food Retailers Collaborative. Emilio still works Saturdays in the Italian Market store, where it all began.
